Reading the Library: Rasputin's Daughter

Rasputin's Daughter by Robert Alexander (same author as the last book)...this novel was even better than the last....again, I am delighted to realize that I am reading worthwhile things while choosing them in such a contrived way....I'm still sort of making choices, like skipping over Louisa May Alcott (to save my eyeballs from being punched out by self-wielded sharp sticks) and moving on to Alexander. I'm now on Alexi, as in Sherman and I know this one will be good as I've read his short stories in grad school.
