Sarah
Miller
This is a
brilliant portrayal of the last years of the Russian royal family in the
1916-1918. It is written in the perspective of the grand duchesses (Tatiana,
Olga, Maria and Anastasia); the writer, Sarah Miller, keeps your full attention
the whole time, and builds up the anticipation. She knows how to capture the
emotions of the princesses and pulling you into their world. Following them in
their imprisonment, their insecurities, being separated from their parents and
in the end their death.
I became
interested in the Romanov family when seeing the 1997 Disney film Anastasia, I
wanted to find out more about them and if it could be true that one of them
escaped. When I read about this book, I knew I must find it and read it.
Several searches later I finally found it on Amazon and couldn’t put it
down.
This is worth the read. A Brilliant book
