Title: Anastasia: The Last Grand Duchess
This fantastic book is the diary of Anastasia Nicholaievna Romanov, The Last Grand Duchess.It starts off at the start of 1914, when Anastasia is 12 & ends with her age 17 in 1918. At the start she writes about all sorts of things including her brother Alexei's disease, her sister Tatiana's bossiness, their clothes, their visitors & writes regularly, yet near the end she is so sad she can't write near as regularly & tries to think of good things to write, but there a so many sad things happening she has to write at least some of them. It shows the transition her & her family went through from their wealthy lifestyle to what happened to them afterwards (which I will not say). It is based on the TRUE story of Anastasia's life, not made-up like it has been in movies. I also liked reading the historical note, about the Russian language & Russian calendar, looking at the photo's & the Romanov family tree. I strongly recommend this book to people who like reading the true story, want to know a bit history & like reading books that are written like a diary. This book has gotten me very interested in history, especially the history of wars. I would really like to read more books in the Royal Diaries series, as I loved this one!
