With the outbreak of hostilities, Tatiana’s life took a different course. Together with her mother, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and her older sister, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna, she trained as a nurse and spent much of her days treating and helping the wounded, having a talent for nursing. She also developed romantic feelings for some of the wounded officers.\nIn her diary, hitherto unpublished in English, Grand Duchess Tatiana vividly describes the events in her life as it irrevocably changed. Her coming of age was the beginning of the end of Imperial Russia, culminating in her father, Emperor Nicholas II’s abdication in 1917, and the murder of Tatiana and her immediate family and their loyal servants on July 17 1918 in Ekaterinburg.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DJZJ358T\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DJZJ358T.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hawkins, George\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
