The kitchen boy

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kristin Scott Thomas, directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky (The Counterfeiters) Drawing from decades of work, travel, and research in Russia, Robert Alexander re-creates the tragic, perennially fascinating story of the final days of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov as seen through the eyes of their young kitchen boy, Leonka. Now an ancient Russian immigrant, Leonka claims to be the last living witness to the Romanovs' brutal murders and sets down the dark secrets of his past with the imperial family. Does he hold the key to the many questions surrounding the family's murder' Historically vivid and compelling, The Kitchen Boy is also a touching portrait of a loving family that was in many ways similar, yet so different, from any other.

  • "With haunting prose, Robert Alexander brings to life the Romanov's kitchen boy, Leonka, whome the Bolsheviks mysteriously spared and who in turn vanished into the bloody ties of the Russian Revolution. But what did the young boy see in those final days of the Imperial family? Would he know the truth of the secret letters smuggled to the Tsar? Or where thirty-eight pounds of tsarist jewels are to be found? And why the bodies of two of the Romanov children are missing from the secret grave that was finally discovered in 1991?"
