Four Sisters: A gripping and emotional historical fiction

Rappaport, with a light hand and admiring eyes, allows the four Grand Duchesses to grow on us as they grow up.” Christian Science Monitor On 17 July 1918, four young women walked down twenty-three steps into the cellar of a house in Ekaterinburg. The eldest was twenty-two, the youngest only seventeen. Together with their parents and their thirteen-year-old brother, they were all brutally murdered. Their crime: to be the daughters of the last Tsar and Tsaritsa of All the Russias. It does go a bit panto at times. “Please don’t hold my family against me,” the young Princess Victoria says to her betrothed, Prince Louis of Battenburg. “Why would I do that? Most of them are my family too,” he replies, camply. Cousin Willy, later Kaiser Wilhelm II, is a nostril-flaring villain with big Richard III energy, whose fragile ego is the catalyst for catastrophe. He is first rejected by beautiful cousin Ella, then humiliated at Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee in 1877 by his uncle Bertie, who seats him further down the table than the Queen of Hawaii, even though he is next in line to the German throne. (His coronation comes soon; his father, Fritz is ill, we are told, before seeing him touch a white handkerchief to his mouth, and cough, sadly.) Each character is introduced with a freeze-frame and the stamp of a giant caption of their name, which is very SAS Rogue Heroes. And there are a few lovely looking scenes that, at points, give it a Sofia Coppola feel, albeit one on a tight budget. At a time when great expense is being poured all over royal dramas, its contained approach does make it stand out, but in the end I found I was rooting for it, scrappiness and all.

Retrieved November 29, 2020. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ In the ensuing years since 1918 much has been written in the West about this tragic family, but most of the published work on the Romanov family till now has focused on the two flawed monarchs, Nicholas and Alexandra, their love story and their horrifying demise – a fall from power that was a great deal of their own making. Interest too has generally focused on their only son and heir, Alexei, the longed-for boy whose life was blighted by the curse of haemophilia, passed unknowingly to him by his mother Alexandra. Of the characterisation, Meg is probably the most distinctly drawn of the sisters, wanting a simple, domestic life and drawing comfort and a calm release in caring for her husband – a trajectory that most closely follows the original novel – and it is no surprise that she is the most eager to escape the weekend. Played by Evans, there is a softness to Meg but she is never presented as foolish whatever her sisters think of her, capable of arriving at her own rational decision about the life she wants.
