In 1914, Grand Duchess Anastasia, the youngest daughter of the Tsar, lives in Russia’s palaces as the First World War and the Bolshevik revolution approach. When the royal family is arrested and exiled to Siberia, everything she knows is swept away. The story spans the last four years of her life.

Sophie's Secret War
