Description

The Kitchen Boy: A Novel of the Last Tsar Drawing from decades of research and travel in Russia, Robert Alexander brings to life the tragic story of the Romanov family's final days through the eyes of their young kitchen boy, Leonka. Now an elderly Russian immigrant, Leonka recounts the dark secrets of his past with the imperial family, claiming to be the last living witness to their brutal murders. Historically vivid and compelling, The Kitchen Boy is a portrait of a loving family that, despite their privileged position, was marked by tragedy and loss. As Leonka sets down his story, he reveals a complex and intriguing tale that has captivated readers for years. With its ingenious plot and well-crafted characters, The Kitchen Boy is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
