Here is what I've found :

It seems to be a text about tsar's daughters with facts and no inventions.

As it is quite uneasy to read on screen and quite long to print, I wanted to know if somebody has already read it. And if you did, is it worth being printed ?

I've read it and I've found more than a few inventions of the author. I don't think it's worth being printed.

It reminds me of The Last Tsar by Radzinsky in the style. Although there are some well-known memoirs scattered occasionally, it's a lot of romanticizing and imaginings on the authors part.

Great, thank you !

Thinking of Radzinsky, I can imagine what it can be : uselessly tearful, as if events were not already enough dramatics. This is what I remember from the The last tsar. In that sense, Massie was a real "historian-investigator"

[Holly]

Yep, that's exactly right.

Radzinksy was obviously passionate and very moved by their story but one's own visions and imaginings aren't usually correct. (I think it's due to Radzinksy's being a playwright.)
