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