I have always loved Russian history. This book is fiction and proposes that Tatiana, the daughter of the last Tsar of Russia escaped the brutal massacre of her other family members by the Bolsheviks in l918. Most accounts say that the daugthter named Anastasia
was the daugher who excaped and later showed up in Europe claiming to be the last Romanov. The story here is very believable, and never claims to be factual. Carolly Erickson is a wonderful writer and her books are always well researchd and I found her account of life in the Tsar's household fascinating. It is hard to believe the indredible wealth and riches of this family as comppared to the miserable poverty of the average Russian family. Genny
