I just finished reading The Empress Of Farewells, and I loved it. I had heard of Maximilian her husband, but had never heard of Charlotte. She was born into Royalty with all the trappings of Royalty. While her story starts out like a fairytale, which is at least 2/3 of the book, maybe more, it ends as a nightmare that one never wakes up from. I absolutely feel for this woman.
