This is a royal biography of two of Europe's most important female figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, two sisters born in Denmark in obscurity. Their beauty and effervescence marked them as special from early childhood. The eldest sister, Alexandra (Alix) became Queen Victoria's choice as the wife of her eldest son, the Prince of Wales (known as Bertie and later as King Edward VII). She was the most beautiful woman in Europe at that time and everything she did, women the world over copied. Her younger sister Dagmar, known in the family as Minnie, married the heir to the Russian Imperial throne and once as Empress of Russia she became the richest woman to ever live. This is a royal trilogy, three books covering the brilliant lives of these two women and their extended families in Great Britain, Russia, Denmark, Greece and Germany. The series is full of scandal, sex, love, wealth, power, pageantry, glamor and revolution. It is of the same time period as Downton Abbey it is a real story in every respect (but the author intentionally wrote it to read as much as possible as a novel). ALIX & MINNIE Book One, Royal Sisters Preparing for Greatness, covers all of the necessary background information. I fact the first several pages outline who is who and how they will enter the story (a necessity because of the difficult Russian names and the duplication of other names as royals tended to do). But once the story unfolds, Book One cover their family heritage, the girl's youth, their eventual marriages and the early trials which plaqued their new lives in Russia and in England.
