Grab a Book: Read-it-Again Edition


Suburban Chicago, January 1969. My paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, reads Nicholas and Alexandra.

She is absolutely rapt; of course, it's her life and times they're talking about.

I absolutely loved that book! It was the first adult biography I read. I must have been in seventh grade. I still have my paperback copy - cover long gone, pages falling out, my immature handwriting on the title page. I can't bear to part with it.

Nora, that's a great memory. There was a movie based on it, too, wasn't there. I may be wrong; I looked at the photos in the book so many times, the photos may linger in my memory as film.

The good news is we still have Tatjana's copy.
