I have an idea for a YA novel. Totally out of my comfort zone. I need to brush up on my Russian history, which I haven't done since college.

Does anyone know of some good books about this time period on life in a russian court. food, clothing etc.

This looks like it might be really cool:

The Domostroi: Rules for Russian Households in the Time of Ivan the Terrible
THE RED LILY CROWN: A Novel of Medici Florence.
THE FLOWER READER.
THE SECOND DUCHESS.
