Description

The last four years of the lives of Grand Duchesses Maria and Anastasia, the youngest daughters of the Tsar of Russia, are told in their own words. Born into opulence, they led modest lives, growing up in extraordinary circumstances. This collection of letters, diaries, and postcards offers a unique glimpse into the experiences of two normal young women caught in the midst of the First World War and the Russian Revolution.

Until now, their story has been largely unknown, with the girls' voices silenced by the tragic events that unfolded. This book provides a long-awaited opportunity for Maria and Anastasia to share their own account of the period, offering a fresh and personal perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.

Written by Helen Azar, this book is a unique and fascinating insight into the lives of two young women who were both victims and survivors of the Russian Revolution.
