Özet

Lover, murderer, mother, Tsarina. Memoirs of a Geisha meets Game of Thrones in this captivating epic charting the extraordinary rags-to-riches tale of the most powerful woman history ever forgot.

Spring 1699: illegitimate, destitute and strikingly beautiful, Marta has survived the brutal Russian winter in her remote Baltic village. Sold by her family into household labour at the age of 15, Marta survives by committing a crime that will force her to go on the run.

A world away, Russia's young ruler, Tsar Peter I, passionate and iron-willed, has a vision for transforming the traditionalist Tsardom of Russia into a modern, Western empire. Countless lives will be lost in the process.

Falling prey to the Great Northern War, Marta cheats death at every turn, finding work as a washerwoman at a battle camp. One night at a celebration, she encounters Peter the Great. Relying on her wits and her formidable courage, and fuelled by ambition, desire and the sheer will to live, Marta will become Catherine I of Russia. But her rise to the top is ridden with peril. How long will she survive the machinations of Peter's court, and more importantly, Peter himself?

Eleştirmen yorumları

"This is the ultimate Cinderella story of an illiterate peasant girl who becomes the empress of Russia. It makes Game of Thrones look like a nursery rhyme." (Daisy Goodwin)

Exciting story with firm foundation in historical facts. Clearly the author, Ellen Alpsten, used imagination to build in detail, but I found this book particularly compelling because it is not complete fiction. This book is not for the squeamish and does contain some quite explicit details of sex and violence, but those parts are not out of context and serve to portray the experiences of the individuals and of the times in which they lived, which were hard and violent. I found the book very enjoyable and it it not all sex and violence but allows the listener to take a journey into a different time and almost a different world, which is full of richness and colour. Anna Krippa narrates well at a suitable pace and gives a voice to each character so that they came alive for me. I recommend this audio book, which kept me company through many hours of housework and gardening.

A ripping great page turner

I knew the fascinating story of the Tsarina Katherine already, so was interested to hear how it'd be re-told. I was surprised to find out that there was quite a lot of oral sex in the Petrine Russia. The book doesn't disappoint. Reading by Anna Krippa is great.

I enjoyed this book the story was fascinating but the cruelties of the time made it difficult for me to like any of the characters in the story, the "souls" were treated with appalling cruelty, but all in all a good listen, I hope the writer writes other books about the csarinas to the end of the line in 1917.

Good book

This should be a fascinating story but it focuses on the most revolting sides of the story. It really does make Game of Thrones look like a kids TV show. Epically long and graphic scenes of rape over and over again. Far, far too much graphic detail, which is entirely unnecessary.Yet when the writer begins a beautiful description of grief and loss, it’s over within half a paragraph. I gave up halfway through as I just couldn’t be bothered. Glimmers of good writing and interesting story, ruined by pages upon pages of gruesome details.

Well written, great narration. The length of the book may be daunting, but every page is a winner. Well worth a credit...and a listen.

Excellent
