Anastasia

The Last Grand Duchess, Russia, 1914

By: Carolyn Meyer

Narrated by: Renée Raudman

Award-winning author Carolyn Meyer introduces readers to the unforgettable Anastasia Romanov, whose idyllic life is forever changed with the coming of World War I.

In this fictionalized journal, Anastasia lives again. Through her eyes, we witness the day-to-day splendor the czar's family experienced before the onslaught of the Russian Revolution. However, one also senses that crowding the outskirts of Anastasia's ornate diary are hundreds of thousands of teeming serfs, just beginning to percolate.
