Fiction. Historical Fiction. HTML:

Daria Gradov is an elderly grandmother living in rural western America in the 1980s. What neighbors and even her children don’t know, is that she began her life as the Grand Duchess Tatiana, daughter of Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra. The Tsarina’s Daughter centers around young Tania, who lives a life of incomparable luxury in pre-Revolutionary Russia, from the magnificence of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg to the family’s private enclave outside the capital. When her younger brother is diagnosed with hemophilia, the key to his survival lies in the mysterious powers of an illiterate monk, Rasputin. Soon his hold over her parents threatens to destroy them all. But war breaks out and revolution sweeps her family from power and into claustrophobic imprisonment. Then into Tania’s life comes a young soldier whose life she helps to save and who becomes her partner in daring plans to rescue the imperial family from the executioners’ bullets.

I found "The Tsarina's Daughter" by Carolly Erickson to be an enjoyable read. Frankly, the negative reviews have me baffled. People, this is a Historical Fiction. Key word being fiction! As stated by Ms. Erickson in the "Note To The Reader" as the end of the novel, "Though in this historical entertainment the heroine Tatiana survives to a ripe old age and tells her remarkable story, the real Tatiana Romanov, sadly did not. She was executed with her family in Ekaterinburg in 1918, and all her hopes, plans and loves died with her.
The "Tsarina's Daughter" is an imaginative retelling of Tatiana's story with many invented characters and events added to the historical background...."
I enjoyed reading Ms. Erickson's well-written, imaginative take on the Romanov family. If you are looking for a different prospective on the Romanovs, this might be the novel for you! ( )

It's not often that I leave a one-star review for a novel, but this one truly is a royal mess. How do I despise thee? Let me count the ways!

From everything I've read about the four Romanov Grand Duchesses, they were incredibly close to one another and excessively sheltered. Why is it, then, that the other three girls are barely mentioned in this book? Why was Tatiana (no one called her Tania) always sneaking out of the palace to hang out with servants and peasants, having sex (with her aunt's approval!), and having countless absurd adventures? At one point "Tania" stops Sigmund Freud from committing her mother to an asylum (really). "Tania" also shows up at Rasputin's apartment and in another scene tries to shoot him!

What really irks me is that many readers don't know anything about the Romanovs and will happily "learn" about them from this terrible novel.

Why, Carolly Erickson, why? ( )

Tania 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. ( )

Also a first time read of this author. This book gives a unique twist to the story of a surviving Romanoff daughter. Rather than holding with the usual suspicion that it was Anastasia who survived the family's massacre, this book takes the premise that it was the second daughter, Tatania. She is the narrator of the story. It was an interesting read, and gave a nicely balanced view of both life in the royal palace and on the streets of St. Petersburg. It also went into detail about the intertwined (confusing) geneology of all the european royalty at the time. I either never knew, realized or have forgotten how they were all related. Aside from the Russin revolution, the war was family declaring war on family ( )

My story begins at the extreme edge of memory, on a snowy January afternoon when I was six years old, and it seemed as if all the bells in all the churches of St. Petersburg were ringing at once.
Prologue: My name is Daria Gradov and I live in Yellow Rain, Saskatchewan.
