The Grand Duchess Marie gives a vivid portrayal of her life under the bumbling Bolsheviks.She had cleverly mailed all of her jewels that she was able to save by putting them into hand-made candles that she mailed to the Royal House of Sweden, once again amazing that the Bolshevics saw nothing strange in ironicaly. She lived a very colorful life after her escape from Russia, years in France, then to the USA. but leaving there when the USA recognized Soviet Russia for South America where she spent the rest of her life."A wonderfully written story".
