In emigration, she wrote two memoirs - "In Russia" and "In Exile" (both of them make up this book), which caused an ambiguous attitude and a lot of talk among the Russian emigration. There are hardly many people of royal blood who, being thrown into the harsh everyday life, each time come up with some kind of unconventional way out - Maria Pavlovna's inflexibility and resourcefulness are truly unique.
