Charlotte Zeepvat Books
Charlotte writes about the intricate connections between history, diplomacy, and art. Her work delves into the less-explored aspects of the past, often examining the relationships between seemingly disparate subjects like art collecting and espionage. With a keen interest in First World War literature and the history of portraiture, she brings a unique perspective to her narratives. Her style is meticulous and immersive, drawing readers into the detailed lives of historical figures and events.
There is a continuing fascination with the Romanov dynasty that ruled Russia for over 300 years. Charlotte Zeepvat seeks to widen the picture by looking at the lives of members of the family during the last century of imperial rule, a time of contrasts and a period in which the Tsars reached the peak of their wealth, prestige and power, yet also faced the growth of forces which would destroy them.
