Olga Romanov lived a life full of romance and danger. Born into the doomed Romanov family in the late 19th century, she barely escaped the Bolshevik Revolution with her life. Never before seen letters and diary entries from Russian archives and family members cast new light on her daring escape across the Crimea, and reveal details of her miserable first marriage and subsequent love affair with the handsome officer who would become her second husband. A true tale of riches to rags, Olga lived on the proceeds of a spectacular cache of Faberge jewels smuggled out of Russia, eventually dying in relative poverty above a hair salon in a run down neighborhood of Toronto. With photographs from surviving descendents and quotes from Olga's own letters, this book brings one of the most illustrious and well-loved figures of Russia's grand imperial court to life.

I have been reading and collecting books on the Romanovs since I was a teenager. The whole tragedy of the last tsar and his extended family still fascinates us today. It should never have happened as it did and periodically new discoveries pertaining to the same subject still fascinate and warrent our attention. If only we could go back in time maybe we would be smart enough to make sure the communist revolution was nipped in the bud - what a different world we would have today and the Russian people could have had a booming economy and a free country.
