#DontBelieveAnymore
In my teens I became obsessed with the Romanov sisters and particularly Anastasia. I read everything I could about Anna Anderson (and the other imposters) and so wanted to believe that she had survived the massacre of her family at Ekaterinburg. Well, the forensics proved otherwise. 🙁

Centique I‘m another one that was obsessed with the Romanovs as a teen. Such a tragic and gripping tale. I started by reading the story from the investigators point of view - I think that‘s what got me started in loving mysteries 🧐 7y
Kalalalatja Well, I still need to buy it, too, so you are still ahead 😉 7y
Reviewsbylola ME TOO!!! 7y
Reviewsbylola When I got to the end of the Peter Kurth book and read the epilogue re: the DNA testing, my heart dropped.Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson (edited) 7y

The Romanovs: The Final ChapterLeahBergen @Centique Haha! I just tagged that book and THEN saw your review about it. 😆 7y
LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola I know! I read a lot about Anna Anderson before any of the DNA analysis was available (and before the mass grave was found). Every bit of news that came out over the years broke my heart a little. 😭 7y
Centique @LeahBergen 😂 Yes that was my entry point 👍 7y
Cinfhen I was getting ready to tag @Reviewsbylola but I see she‘s chimed in!!!! 😉😂 7y
