One of the things that bothered me most was the way the book was laid out. The letters of Alexandra to her sister-in-law, Grand Duchess Eleonore, are presented in their original German with English translations to be found in one of the appendices. It would've been much more helpful had these translations actually followed the original German letter. It became something of a nuisance to have to flip back and forth.
One of the good things of the book is the amount of footnotes that help us identify family members called by nicknames and also help us to put historical events into perspective.
A good book to own if you are a die-hard fan of Empress Alexandra, as it is mostly her letters that survive. Ernie's letters to her were destroyed when the Empress burnt most of her correspondence. ( )
