Paul Edwards (director), Steven Maeda& Craig Wright (writers) (November 30, 2005). " What Kate Did". Lost. Season 2. Episode 9. ABC.Kelly's use of figurative language (many times I felt like I was physically and emotionally connected to the story). As always, it is so wonderful to learn of things that are unknown in our history. Ironically, my husband's family owned homes in Southampton not too far away from the places mentioned in this book. It is always so interesting and riveting when one makes that connection to a place they once lived. I highly recommend this book to all of those who love history and superior story telling. While we all know the story of the Tsar and his family’s captivity, Lost Roses explores the fate of the next tier of aristocracy and how they fared during the revolution. She perfectly captures the anarchy, the treatment of the “former people”. I appreciated Kelly’s ability to weave historical facts into her storytelling. Sofya’s family must flee the city to the family’s country manor because a revolution is on the brink. They hire Varinka, a young peasant girl, to serve in their household, but she brings danger along with her.

I was very excited to continue the story of this amazing family and learning about Caroline's mother Eliza. I was a bit disappointed Sofya wasn't a real person, but that was just me wanting to look her up and see maybe pictures or more about her life, not anything to do with the book itselfThanks to Suzy Approved Book Tours, the author, and publisher for the complimentary copy. All opinions are my own. Kelly memorably portrays three indomitable women who triumph over hardships and successfully brings a complex and turbulent time in history to life.' Publishers Weekly On the other side of the Atlantic, Eliza is doing her part to help the White Russian families find safety as they escape the revolution. But when Sofya’s letters suddenly stop coming, she fears the worst for her best friend. L.
