The Russian Grand Duchesses, who were murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918 along with the rest of their family, have become something of a literary mainstay. This thoroughly researched novel brings the four young women to readers in their own voices. In alternating chapters (each with a small photo of the narrator), Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia report on their lives and their relationships and slowly but surely reveal the perilous situation in which they find themselves. Each Grand Duchess comes across as a unique personality, with the best known, Anastasia, the most distinctive. But each girl is given time and space to reveal and reflect, and like the best historical novels, this allows modern-day teens to see parts of themselves in very different people. Sometimes the Russian words and history overwhelm the narrative, but by the heartbreaking book's conclusion, readers will be caught up in the girls' story. A glossary, a note about the Russian calendar, and an affecting epilogue complete the book. -- BOOKLIST , April 15, 2011 As Romanov fiction goes, this is probably the best of the bunch. <p> Helen Rappaport, author of The Last Days of the Romanovs: Tragedy at Ekaterinburg <p> Author InformationSarah Miller began writing her first novel when she was ten and has spent half her life working in libraries and bookstores.
