Well-researched story of the Romanov Sisters though a large part of the book deals with their Mother and there were parts I found boring and just skimmed. I appreciated the insights into some of the reasons why England did not offer them refuge, and I learned about the personalities of the older two sisters, especially. Some of Anatasia's personality comes through, but there isn't much about Maria. perhaps because there just aren't many sources of information to give more details on her. It's so sad ... wrong people for the job, but not bad people, and the girls' lives were so isolated in large part due to their Mother.
