This book is a new publication for GRB in Canada. Although somewhat mundane, it does provide a brief insight into Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna's life during 1913. The surprise for me was its simplistic style and it was not particularily revealing in its content.
The biggest flaw is that there are no annotations, which may frustrate readers not familiar with the many persons mentioned. A brief list is however provided that presents the more familiar names. Curiously this publication uses the Western calendar, starting January 1 ending December 31.
Difficult to recommend unless you collect everything to do with the Imperial Family.
