A couple more book reviews


Madame Mirabou's School of Love by Barbara Samuel follows the life of Nikki as she is navigating her life after her husband divorces her for another woman.  The journey she takes to finding herself is interesting, and Nikki's a likeable character; however, I did feel a little bogged down in the "whiney divorcee" syndrome by about the middle of the book.  I would also like to read a book where a woman finds the courage to do what she wants without worrying about the approval of a man.  Recommended.

The Romanov Bride by Robert Alexander is about the Russian revolution and covers the time period from 1906-1918.  It is told from the perspectives of Pavel, a revolutionary, and Ella, the wife of the Grand Duke.  I liked the swapping perspectives because it helped to demonstrate that the any story, especially one as "grand" as this one, has many different sides and explanations for what happened during a major historical upheaval.  Highly recommended.
