'Catherine the Great, Empress and Autocrat of All the Russias, was a fascinating woman and legends about her abound.
'Catherine refracted is a re-imagining of her life and the legends about her. Her lovers, her illegitimate children, her wiles, her wit and her place in history … all feature in this lively reinterpretation of one of history’s most beloved and reviled leaders.'
