AndreaHelena | Dec 14, 2023 |    ) eringoss112 | Feb 5, 2021 | From everything I've read about the four Romanov Grand Duchesses, they were incredibly close to one another and excessively sheltered. Why is it, then, that the other three girls are barely mentioned in this book? Why was Tatiana (no one called her Tania) always sneaking out of the palace to hang out with servants and peasants, having sex (with her aunt's approval!), and having countless absurd adventures? At one point "Tania" stops Sigmund Freud from committing her mother to an asylum (really). "Tania" also shows up at Rasputin's apartment and in another scene tries to shoot him! What really irks me is that many readers don't know anything about the Romanovs and will happily "learn" about them from this terrible novel. Why, Carolly Erickson, why? (  ) bookishblond | Oct 24, 2018 | The Romanov Monarchy seems to have been doomed. Could they have ever agreed to giving up power? Would the tragedy had to have happened? If Nicholas has been trained to be a Tsar? If Alix wasn't a hemophiliac? Tania's fear of institutionalizing her mother was understandable. The institutions of the day were primitive.

Historical Fiction.
HTML: Daria Gradov is an elderly grandmother living in rural western America in the 1980s. What neighbors and even her children don’t know, is that she began her life as the Grand Duchess Tatiana, daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. The Tsarina’s Daughter centers around young Tania, who lives a life of incomparable luxury in pre-Revolutionary Russia, from the magnificence of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg to the family’s private enclave outside the capital. When her younger brother is diagnosed with hemophilia, the key to his survival lies in the mysterious powers of an illiterate monk, Rasputin. Soon his hold over her parents threatens to destroy them all. But war breaks out and revolution sweeps her family from power and into claustrophobic imprisonment. Then into Tania’s life comes a young soldier whose life she helps to save and who becomes her partner in daring plans to rescue the imperial family from the executioners’ bullets. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The "Tsarina's Daughter" is an imaginative retelling of Tatiana's story with many invented characters and events added to the historical background...."
I enjoyed reading Ms. Erickson's well-written, imaginative take on the Romanov family. If you are looking for a different prospective on the Romanovs, this might be the novel for you! (
