On July 1918, the Romanov family was executed, but Anastasia's remains were only found in 2007. For years her popularity grew, as people wondered if she escaped from a terrible death. And of course, Susanne Dunlap focused the climax of Anastasia's Secret on that.

Rasputin is mentioned a couple of times, and of course, her brother's illness. But it's the love story that holds this book together and that provides us with a surprising twist.
Nice review! I like the idea of keeping the reader politically in dark just as Anastasia was. I'll have to check this out at my library.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I agree, it wouldn't have made much sense for her to know everything, being the youngest of the four girls.
