Reviews Synopsis Using information from the Royal Archives and previously unavailable material from Scandinavia, this biography offers a re-appraisal of the life of Empress Marie Feodorovna, whose son Nicholas II was the last Tsar of Russia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Customer Comments Average Customer Rating: Number of Reviews: 2 A reader from Devon, UK , 12 April, 2000 A meticulously researched and readable book about Empress Ma This book has been meticulously researched and is well written as well. The author enjoys her subject and the style moves us along the life of the Danish Princess Dagmar (later Empress Marie of Russia) at a brisk pace. She takes us through Dagmar's early years as a young girl in a happy but far from affluent family in Copenhagen. After Dagmar's sister Alexandra married the Prince of Wales in 1863, Dagmar was courted by the young Tzarevitch, only to lose him when he died before their wedding. She reluctantly married his brother Sasha although the marriage turned into a happy one. The reader follows Dagmar's life at the glittering Russian court, the premature death of her husband in 1894 and the accession of her son Nicholas II, the last Romanov ruler. We follow Dagmar's fortunes in the years leading up to the Revolution and her fears for the fate of her family in a court dominated by Rasputin. The later years of her life were spent back in Denmark following her dramatic rescue from the Crimea under the Bolsheviks. This is very much a family story although international politics and intrigue play their fateful part as the doomed Romanovs slide inexorably towards disaster. A reader from London, England , 15 December, 1999 Thoroughly researched, clearly written with a passion. I have waited a long time for a book on Empress Marie Feodorovna to be published, and what a joy! The author, Ms Hall has obviously turned her keen interest in the subject into a serious work of great authority. This biography of Dagmar is unusually not only full of detailed information but told in an interesting style which really brings the character alive. Well done Coryne Hall! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ © 1998-2000 Amazon.com, Inc. and its affiliates <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
