“Suspenseful and detailed, the novel captures a dramatic moment in history and will sear you with sorrow for this doomed daughter of the last tsar.”

“Clever and enchanting . . . [Erickson] has spun a sensitive and
entirely believable story of the young woman’s coming of age in the
maelstrom of World War I and the ensuing collapse of the dynasty. It is a
love story, to be sure, but what makes this book remarkable (and a
compulsive read) is the author’s superb understanding of the fascinating
personalities of the Imperial Family and the Russian court. Highly
recommended.” 

“A top-notch narrative…Erickson creates an entirely convincing
historical backdrop, and her tale of a family’s fall from power and a
country in transition is both romantic and gripping.” 

“Erickson weaves historical details into this imaginative account of how
Tatiana Romanov, the second of Nicholas and Alexandra’s four daughters,
escaped the Bolshevik assassins who killed Russia’s royal family in
1918.…Despite knowing the real Tatiana’s fate, readers will rejoice in
the fictional version’s survival. A sure winner.”

“Lovingly told, The Tsarina’s Daughter is a story with a
bittersweet ending, as real history sometimes is. Beautifully written,
this is a terrific book to curl up with on a chilly autumn day.”

“Erickson never lets harsh fact impede a good story…the suspense
never flags…More entertainment than history, but all the better
for it.”
