nx74defiantTania comes across as a bright caring girl. Usually it is Anastasia that is the one who survives. I think this is the first time I saw the idea that Nicholas had a mistresses. Usually Nicholas and Alexandra are portrayed as one of the great love stories of history. Nicholas in this book is week and Alexandra is nuts.
The Romanov Monarchy seems to have been doomed. Could they have ever agreed to giving up power? Would the tragedy had to have happened? If Nicholas has been trained to be a Tsar? If Alix wasn't a hemophiliac?
Tania's fear of institutionalizing her mother was understandable. The institutions of the day were primitive.
