The author of this work was the daughter of the British ambassador to Russia. She was in St. Petersburg (renamed Petrograd in 1914) from before World War I to after the Bolshevik Revolution, leaving in January 1918. Rather than a dry retelling of the history of this period, the author gives a more personal view of the events, as she lived through them. - Summary by TriciaG
