Alexandra: The Last Tsarina: The Tragic Story of the Last Empress of Russia: A Life of the Last Tsarina - Hardcover
The lives and deaths of the Romanov family are redolent with colour and drama, but the personal life of the beautiful Tsarina Alexandra has remained enigmatic. Under Erickson's masterful scrutiny the full dimensions of the Empress's singular psychology are revealed: her childhood bereavement, her long struggle to attain her romantic goal of marriage to her handsome cousin Nicholas, anguishing shyness, the struggles with her in-laws, a false pregnancy, her increasing eccentricities as she became more preoccupied with matters of faith, and her growing dependence on a series of occult mentors, the most notorious of whom was Rasputin.
With meticulous care, long-practised skill, and generous imagination, Erickson has brought Alexandra and her family back to life. Taking advantage of material unavailable until the fall of the Soviet Union, Erickson portrays Alexandra's story as a closely observed, enthrallingly documented, progressive psychological retreat from reality.

Review:
[Erickson] brings Alexandra to life through her everyday doings and she is not sparing with the details, which helps to give a convincing sense of place to her narrative. (Adam Zamoyski, Sunday Times)
Erickson proves it is possible to write narrative history that is both popular and good. (Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday)
