5/27/2023 0 Comments Book i was anastasiaThere are two characters, Princess Anastasia Romanov who is rumored to have been killed along with her family and Anna Anderson who claims to be Anastasia (assuming that Anastasia miraculously survives the attack on the family). In fairness, others have given it rave reviews. From a reader’s viewpoint, I can report that it was challenging and difficult to remain engaged with Anna’s story because of the backward telling. From a writer’s viewpoint, I can imagine that the creative and ambitious structure of the book earns many accolades. Although well written, extensively researched, and creatively structured, I struggled with the backwards telling of Anna’s story. Overall, I enjoyed reading the history of Anastasia Romanov and exploring the controversy surrounding her death. In this story, readers have an opportunity to form their own opinion.Īmazon Rating (August): 3.9 Stars My Thoughts: For years, rumors that Anastasia did survive circulate through Europe. People who don’t believe her call her Anna Anderson. Bolshevik executioners claim that no one survived, but in 1920 a young woman surfaces and claims to be the Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia. Summary:įor nearly a century, many have speculated about the survival of Anastasia Romanov after her famous political family was forced into a basement in Siberia and executed by firing squad in 1918. *This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
