Helen Rappaport - A négy nővér BK24-163349

Helen Rappaport, a British historian, tells the story of the four Grand Duchesses of the Romanov dynasty: Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. Drawing on the young women's own letters and diaries, this gripping book offers what is considered the most authentic account of their lives to date.

The book follows the sisters from childhood to adulthood within the privileged yet secluded world of the imperial court. Readers learn about their first loves, dreams and hopes, and about the trauma caused by the Russian Revolution and its tragic consequences.

On 17 July 1918, they were brutally murdered together with their parents and brother in a cellar in Yekaterinburg, their only crime being that they were the daughters of the Tsar. Based on thorough research, this moving book gives these young women a voice nearly a century after the tragedy. Hardcover edition, 496 pages, published in 2017.
