Customer Reviews

Nothing new.

...except a blazing error in the title: Anastasia was no tsarina (which is used to describe the wife of the tsar). The term used in Russia was velikaya knyazha, grand duchess, or tsarevna, daughter of the tsar.

Great photographs

I like this book because the author doesn't give you the answer to the mystery. She leaves it up to you, she gives you the clues, opinions, theories, and ideas and you decide if Anastasia Manahan was indeed the Grand Duchess Anastasia. I personally do not believe Anastasia Manahan was Anastasia, but this book is extremly well written and I really enjoyed it, and I especially liked the photographs included of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaevena, the last daughter of the last Tsar of Russia.
