The Lost Daughter

The novel alternates between two timelines, focusing on one of history's greatest mysteries: the fate of the Romanovs. In 1918 Russia, Grand Duchess Maria Romanova, the nineteen-year-old daughter of the fallen Tsar Nicholas II, is held with her family in suffocating isolation. Her innocent, clandestine flirtations with a few of the guards hold the potential for life or death. Fifty-five years later, in 1973, Val Doyle is stunned by her dying father's troubling confession: 'I didn't want to kill her.' As Val rushes to unravel the secrets behind the disappearance of her mother when she was twelve, she discovers clues—a jewel-encrusted box and a camera with undeveloped film—that pull her into a search for the truth about her past and what truly happened to the lost Romanov daughter, Maria.
