Read as a companion piece to her sister's book - TM's book much more of a complete memoir, starting with life in Russia, their various escapes, life in emigre outposts throughout Europe. I'm happy to have read it, but probably wouldn't re-read. The end of the book, describing their travels from Königswart to Johannisburg, escaping mere hours before Czech border controls were put in place, is pretty gripping though!
