This book is a fantastic read! Meticulously researched, the author presents these four women as if she knew them herself. The four Hessian granddaughters of Queen Victoria lived fascinating existences. Two of them met tragic ends in Russia, one married into the Kaiser's family, and another was the mother of Lord Mountbatten and the grandmother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Highly recommended to any student of history, royalty, or anyone just looking for a good biography. Look no further! ( )
