The Killing Snows is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it.

A Personal Note From the Author:"Many years ago I read 'Nicholas and Alexandra' by Robert K Massey and wished there was a 'Nicholas and Alexandra's Daughters' book. I was so disappointed when I found there wasn't one - so I set about writing it myself! Over 30 years and many thousands of pages of notes later I was diagnosed with cancer, so decided to use my time productively by compiling everything into a book. My own illness meant I spent a lot of time surrounded by medical staff, and I learned a lot about Victorian and Edwardian medicine, and this really helped me to understand the various illnesses of the Tsarevich, the Tsarina and the four Grand Duchesses. I enjoyed writing my book and sharing my passion … I hope readers will share my own enjoyment of the book and its subject."Try Before You Buy:Scroll up and click on the Look Inside link to read sample pages from this fascinating new biography of the Russian Royal Family.If You Enjoy This Book:Please come back and leave a review!Thank you.
