    4.0 out of 5 stars Olga was not such a writer
    Reviewed in Italy on 18 February 2018

    It is really interessino. There are a lot of pics,, so this diary is a precious document.
    I didn't like the font and then the grand duchess was very poor in the news she wrote. So schematic. A mathematic brain!
    But I am happy to have this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pour ceux qui s'intéressent aux Romanov
    Reviewed in Canada on 7 September 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Ce livre décrit le mode de vie d'une princesse russe au début du XXe siècle. Il est fait pour ceux qui s'intéressent aux Romanov en général et à la fille aînée de Nicolas II en particulier. On peut y voir les pensées de cette jeune fille, ses amours cachés et l'amour qu'elle porte à ses parents à travers son journal qui passe l'année 1913 au complet (c'est-à-dire l'année du tricentenaire de la dynastie des Romanov).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Olga speaks
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 March 2017
    Verified Purchase
    This translation exclusively covers Olga's diary for the year 1913 - the 300th anniversary of the Romanov reign. Olga writes not only about her day-to-day life, but also about the various ceremonies and trips she participated in as part of the celebration of the anniversary. The general perception of the Grand Duchesses is that they had very isolated, boring lives, but it's plain here that Olga certainly didn't see it that way! Her diary is full of games, walks, visits with family, etc. Also, hardly an entry goes by without mentioning that her mother (Empress Alexandra) is unwell, which really brings home the day-to-day reality of Alexandra's health and the effect it must have had on the family. Like a "normal" teenager, Olga also writes a good deal about her crush, recording every time she gets to see him or talk to him. A very good bug-on-the-wall view into the daily lives of the Imperial Family before the war and revolution hit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The 1913 diary of Olga Romanov
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is the full 1913 diary of Olga Romanov, the eldest daughter of the Tsar Nicholas II. It details the daily life, passions, loves of this bright and special young woman. It also details the court life and the Romanov tercentenary. It should be read step by step in order not to end up get bored since it's not packed with events and adventure. However, what I liked is that you can have a glimpse into the soul of Olga from the way she herself writes, expresses her feelings here and there, her anxiety for the future, her religiosity, and her love crushes. The last month's entries are particularly revealing of a grown-up, sensitive woman.

    5.0 out of 5 stars interesting book

    The book is an interesting read. Wish the pictures were in one spot instead of threw out the book and footnotes at the back of the book. That would make it a much easier read.
