En 'La casa del propósito especial', John Boyne nos sumerge en la Rusia de 1915, donde un joven campesino llamado Georgi Yáchmenev salva la vida de un miembro de la familia imperial. Este acto lo catapulta a un nuevo rol como guardaespaldas del joven Alexei Romanov, hijo del zar Nicolás II. Años más tarde, mientras acompaña a su esposa Zoya en un hospital de Londres, Georgi rememora su vida juntos, marcada por secretos y tragedias. La novela entrelaza la fastuosa vida en el Palacio de Invierno con el exilio en París y Londres, creando una historia de amor improbable y un relato histórico conmovedor.
