Fiction. Literature. Mystery. Historical Fiction. HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â?¢ An enthralling feat of historical suspense that unravels the extraordinary twists and turns in Anna Anderson's fifty-year battle to be recognized as Anastasia Romanov. Is she the Russian Grand Duchess or the thief of another woman's legacy?
Countless others have rendered their verdict. Now it is your turn.
Russia, July 17, 1918: Under direct orders from Vladimir Lenin, Bolshevik secret police force Anastasia Romanov, along with the entire imperial family, into a damp basement in Siberia, where they face a merciless firing squad. None survive. At least that is what the executioners have always claimed.
Germany, February 17, 1920: A young woman bearing an uncanny resemblance to Anastasia Romanov is pulled shivering and senseless from a canal. Refusing to explain her presence in the freezing water or even acknowledge her rescuers, she is taken to the hospital where an examination reveals that her body is riddled with countless horrific scars. When she finally does speak, this frightened, mysterious young woman claims to be the Russian grand duchess.     
As rumors begin to circulate through European society that the youngest Romanov daughter has survived the massacre at Ekaterinburg, old enemies and new threats are awakened. The question of who Anna Anderson is and what actually happened to Anastasia Romanov spans fifty years and touches three continents. This thrilling saga is every bit as moving and momentous as it is harrowing and twist

Ending is super off-putting and doesn't make sense seeing as it's written from a first hand experience perspective so saying it's all one big con just doesn't make sense and honestly ruined the book for me. ( )

Hard to follow. Started slow but ended with a bang.

I really enjoyed this book telling the tale of Anna Anderson going back in time from 1970 - 1918 and Grand Duchess Anastasia forward in time from 1917 to the executions in July 1918. It was well written and makes you think. The final chapter and authors afterward clarify the story. I was happy how it was concluded 4.5* ( )

This novel switches between time from days, weeks, months and leaves you hanging and wanting to know what’s going to happen.Because we know the historic facts of what happened to Tzar Nicholas and his family, it makes it harder for the writer to keep a reader’s interest but the author does. She capitalizes on our fascination with Anastasia Romanov. Lawton’s author’s note at the end helps explain why she ended the book as she did and gives us the basic facts of how the bodies were found in 1991 and 2007. ( )

This story has multiple timeline jumps and POV characters. I recently read several books with a similar style as this and had no problem following them and enjoying the books. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for this book. There were just too many time jumps in all directions even within the same chapter and it drove me crazy. Having finished the book I now understand why the author used this tactic but the frustration for me outweighed the payoff at the end. I gave it 3 stars because I am fascinated by the "mystery" that surrounded Anastasia and the woman who claimed to be her but I would have enjoyed it much more if written in a different format. ( )

Memorable, poignant, and a dazzling tour-de-force of structure and storytelling, this novel starts in both the last days of Tsarist Russia and in 1980s Virginia. For once there was a young woman named the Grand Duchess Anastasia, who died in July of 1918. Once there was a woman who calling herself Anna Anderson, who died in February of 1984.... Anastasia’s story rolls inexorably forward as Anna’s unravels backward until the stories collide with the inevitability of tragedy. And even though I knew how the novel must end, I still found myself hoping that somehow the author had managed to pull off the miracle that would change Anastasia’s history—or at least change Anna’s.
 
Lawhon brilliantly employs an inventive and non-linear dual narrative to tell the tale of how Anastasia would become Anna Anderson, or, perhaps, how Anna became Anastasia.

The tragic story of Anastasia is an enduring one, and the woman who laid claim to her birthright is a testament to the world’s desire to believe in Anastasia’s survival. This sprawling, immersive tale travels from revolutionary Russia to interwar France and Germany, bringing its characters to sparkling life.

Lawhon tells Anna’s story in reverse.... Anastasia’s tale is told in the first person in the opposite direction... to the night of the murders. This makes a certain amount of sense, as it allows the story to converge on the moment of truth, when we will find out if Anna is, as she certainly seems to be, Anastasia. What pushes it a little too far from the point of view of readability is the decision to tell individual Anna chapters backward. Anna’s globe-trotting trials and tribulations are hard enough to follow without this level of intricacy. So the Anastasia story ends up being the more compelling of the two, hurtling as it does to its grisly ending. Somewhat overcomplicated but ultimately satisfying. Anastasia Romanov lives yet again!
