“Illuminating the realities of life in premodern Russia and the growth and changes brought about in the Petrine Era, this is a fascinating and extraordinary ride from slavery to royalty…Offer this to fans of historical fiction, Russia, political intrigue, and powerful women.”–Booklist, starred review

LOVED AND WANTED: A Memoir of Choice, Children, and Womanhood by Christa Parravani

“Parravani (HER: A Memoir) begins her luminous, complex story with a memory—one that is visceral, yet metaphoric and sets the tone for this work, which proves a welcome addition to women’s narratives with its willingness to address poverty, sexuality, spirituality, and the difficult choices women are forced to make when navigating oppressive systems.”–Library Journal
