Other writers have focused on the tragic Romanovs, but this time it's not Anastasia in the spotlight. Tatiana and Malama fall in love and the readers fall in love with them. Oh, yeah, this is heart wrenching romance at its best. We know it's doomed...or is it? The counterpoint of a modern day love story fraught with all its complications is well done. Paul moves back and forth tying up the ends of both stories. You almost think it could have happened and you'll wind up like me, on Wikipedia searching for these characters.
