5 Stars • Two words told me this was the book for me. #Romanov #JohnBoyne

"The House of Special Purpose" by John Boyne is a historical novel that intertwines the personal story of protagonist Georgy Jachmenev with the tumultuous backdrop of the Russian Revolution. Set in the early 20th century, the narrative follows Georgy, a young peasant boy who inadvertently saves the life of the Tsar's uncle ⬇️

suvata and is subsequently appointed as a companion to the Tsarevich Alexei. The story unfolds through flashbacks, juxtaposing Georgy's life as an elderly man in 1981 with his experiences during the fall of the Romanov dynasty. It explores themes of love, tragedy, and the impact of historical events on individual lives. 4mo

#12Booksof2022 I love a good spin on the Anastasia story, and that, combined with Boyne's beautiful prose, made this one a winner for me last April. @Andrew65

Andrew65 Love John Boyne but not read this one. 2y

This book won the Phoenix Award! This book is a good read. This book to me would be for a slightly older group. Just not sure if this is something Kindergartens could really comprehend. Looks like a great book though.
