Meyer's biographical novel sympathetically follows Anastasia Romanova and her siblings as they visit their palaces, experience first romances, and listen in bewilderment to the rumors of political unrest that sift into even their sheltered Russian world during the period spanning 1911–1918. Anastasia's ordinary worries and small joys demonstrate the humanity of young people caught in political upheavals not of their making. Reading list.
