| Summary | "Viimeinen tsaaritar: Romaani nykyajalta" by Gertrud von Brockdorff is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the tumultuous life of Empress Alexandra and her experiences surrounding the birth of her daughter, the sense of isolation she feels, and the pressures of living as the wife of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. As the empress grapples with her personal disappointments and the weight of royal expectations, the story also subtly interweaves themes of political unrest in a changing Russia. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the intense emotions surrounding the birth of Alexandra's child, with her husband expressing disappointment at the gender of the heir, expected to be a boy. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of foreboding, as Alexandra grapples with both her feelings of inadequacy and the expectations of her role within the Russian monarchy. Her inner turmoil is exacerbated by the presence of the court's power players, particularly Konstantin Pobjedonostsev, who represents the political tension within the kingdom. Alexandra's longing for connection and understanding amid her isolation sets the stage for a deeper exploration of her character and the historical complexities influencing her reign.
