description:

Grand Duchess Olga Aleksandrovna, the last surviving member of Nicholas II’s immediate family, recalls her life and relationship with her brother’s family.

unique features:

Personal reminisces from the childhood and reign of Nicholas II. Also a first-hand account of escape from the Bolshevik regime and life in exile from a member of the imperial family.

in my opinion:

A lively and fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman.
