The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great by Eva Stachniak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great story, good Russian history, Barbara is Catherine friend and confident from childhood to when Catherine takes the throne. Catherine begins to question Barbara's child about things, Barbara feels betrayed and ends up in Poland on small estate. 2nd book to come, will read it if I don't read something else about Catherine first.
