I went into this book not knowing much about Anastasia or the rest of the Romanov family and ended up completely lost in their story. Is Anna Anderson really Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov? Lawhon tackles this notion through two narratives in different timelines — Anna's in reverse and Anastasias advancing forward. Although I found the structure to be confusing in the beginning, once I wrapped my head around it I really enjoyed the way the converging storylines built suspense.
