    Unmissable for fans and student s alike
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2014*

Many years ago I read Robert K Massie's "Nicholas and Alexandra", which I continue to re-read.  Since then I have read many books on the Romanovs and also on European royal families contemporaneous with them.  This is the first book I have encountered that is in any way comparable to that first reading experience: poignant, down-to-earth and full of accurate detail, of an ordinary family in extraordinary circumstances. Nicholas and Alexandra have been much criticised for their failures in public life.  Their political survival was however not only virtually impossible because of factors over which they had no control, but their private lives were also made  terrible by the chronic illness of their beloved son.  Historians are often keen to sit in judgement on the last Tsar, but the Hapsburgs, Hohenzollerns, and Spanish Bourbons, who lost their thrones at  about the same time and arguably with fewer pressures on them - and in addition held on to their lives - are rarely subjected to such searing  criticism.This book sets out to debunk the image of the four perfect daughters - but in fact, the four girls emerge in their depth and complexity as even more attractive to modern sensibilities.  Reflective Olga, elegant Tatiana, warm-hearted Maria and quirky Anastasia, with their pretty clothes, their wild teenage crushes, their hobbies and their often comically uncertain academic progress are recognisable and accessible characters, - in fact, like our own children.  They remind us that the Russian Revolution was about people as well as politics.  They have become representatives of the destruction, along with the bad, of much that was good and innocent, which is probably why the restored Russian Church now venerates them as martyrs.Helen Rappaport combines thorough research with an unsentimental humanity that presents the girls as real people: appealing, flawed, unbearably sad.  A definitive biography and a well-told story.

    very well researched account that brings these four young ladies to life
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2016*

This is an extremely well researched attempt to separate out the lives and roles of the four doomed Romanov sisters Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia from the familiar and often told narrative of the last two decades of Tsarism in Russia, and to give them distinctive identities. The author also attempted this in her previous book Ekaterinburg: The Last Days of the Romanovs, which recounted in day by day detail the last two weeks of the family's imprisonment in the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg before Tsar Nicholas, his wife Alexandra, the four daughters and son and heir Alexei, plus the doctor and three servants were murdered. She succeeds in this attempt as far as is reasonably possible, though the sisters' own depiction of themselves as a collective "OTMA" (from the initials of their names) doesn't help. Nevertheless, she says, "The anodyne public image of four sweet little girls in white embroidered cambric with blue bows in their hair thus gave little or no indication of the four very different personalities developing behind the closed doors of the Alexander Palace". Isolated from ordinary Russian life, but within a very loving family, their upbringing was of course privileged by the standards of ordinary Russians, but nevertheless more redolent of a bourgeois English upbringing than an aristocratic Russian one. They also somehow managed to develop a sensitivity towards outsiders shown most clearly in Olga and Tatiana's nursing work during the First World War, until the first March Revolution of 1917 brought about their father's abdication and the family's house arrest in the Winter Palace, prior to exile first in Tobolsk in Siberia, then in Ekaterinburg in the Urals. While I understand the author's desire not to overlap with her previous book on the family's last days, this does mean that the book's main narrative ends rather abruptly, with a short concluding chapter covering the fate of other characters. The book contained a number of pictures I hadn't seen before and an extensive bibliography. An impressive work.
