I ordered this, it is about the Queen of Romania, who was a fascinating person. She used a literary pseudonym, Carmen Sylva. She was a fairly prolific writer in several genres. Very unusual and independant for her time and position in society.

This book looks like a good read, I look forward to it.

Which Elisabeth; Carmen Sylva or or her greatniece, E.of R.who went on to be Queen of the Hellenes? Whichever one, I shall have to look for this because I have always had a fascination for the woman who came between them, Marie of Edinburgh.

One of the best things I've read in a while.

This has been popular here as well. I have a friend who is a librarian, and she said it was starting to get on local HS reading lists.
