&ldquo;[A] splendid and surprising book....Kathryn Harrison has given us something enduring &ndash; the last romantic figure of the [Romanov] era, a whip-cracking circus girl who was once an intimate part of a dying empire.&rdquo;--New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Part love story, part history, this novel is a tour de force....[told] in language that soars and sears.&rdquo;--More&#160;&ldquo;A mesmerizing novel.&rdquo;--O, The Oprah Magazine&#160;&ldquo;Kathryn Harrison triumphantly returns to her historical fiction roots with Enchantments, the sweeping (and wholly imagined) story of love between two unlikely allies....Harrison takes a particular moment in time and brings it to stunning life....re-imagining history&mdash;and a love story&mdash;in a completely new way.&rdquo;--Bookpage&#160;&ldquo;A surreal tale fueled by a legendarily randy real-life healer and his lion-taming daughter....A scrupulously researched retelling of the fiery end of Russia&hellip;.Most of all, Enchantments is about the irreducible mysteries of human motivation.&rdquo;--Elle"A sumptuous, atmospheric account of the last days of the Romanovs from the perspective of Rasputin&rsquo;s daughter, Enchantments animates a kaleidoscopic breadth of historical detail with the sensuous, transporting prose that is Kathryn Harrison&rsquo;s trademark."--JENNIFER EGAN, author of A Visit From the Goon Squad&ldquo;Ask yourself who, in all the world, would be the best novelist to imagine being Rasputin&rsquo;s daughter. Kathryn Harrison makes the answer obvious. Her Enchantments is a stupendous work of historical imagination.&rdquo;&mdash;PETER CAREY, author of Parrot and Olivier in America&#160;&ldquo;Kathryn Harrison locates within the crevices of history moments of poetry and passion that electrify the reader. In Enchantments, Ms. Harrison takes us on a magic carpet ride to Russia one hundred years ago, and with perfect grace, impeccable style, and great narrative flair, she gives us a whole wounded world that is for the course of this utterly compelling novel as real as our own lives. Actually: more.&rdquo;&mdash;SCOTT SPENCER, author of Man in the Woods and Endless Love&#160;&ldquo;Enchantments is wonderful: fascinating, informative, historically persuasive, and full of sympathy and tenderness for its endearing characters. This is Kathryn Harrison at her lyrical best.&rdquo;&mdash;RON HANSEN, author of A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion&#160;"[A] bewitching historical novel about the infamous demise of a legendary dynasty....Harrison sets historic facts like jewels in this intricately fashioned work of exalted empathy and imagination, a literary Faberg&eacute; egg....[A] dazzling return to historical fiction&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist (starred review)From the Hardcover edition.
