Helen Rappaport's book is a unique biographical work. It brings back to the reader the image of the real, living Romanov sisters.
Records from the personal diaries of the princesses, on which the book is based, paint portraits of intelligent, sensitive and receptive to reality girls, subtly (and sometimes unexpectedly) perceived and experienced the fate of Russia at the turn of the era.
Previously unavailable to the general Russian public, extensive materials from archives - both official (including the archives of various royal houses in Europe) and private (among which the memoirs of those who knew the Romanov sisters intimately are of particular value), complete the picture, allow you to recreate the circumstances of their lives and occupations, their hobbies and passions.
The masterfully constructed narrative perfectly conveys the spirit of the time, allowing the reader to feel the living breath of History.
