Xenia was no stranger to personal heart ache, and the book deals with the Rasputin saga and the downfall of the Romanovs.
Xenia may well have been as uninteresting a woman as herein conveyed (odds are that she was), but her circumstances -- both before and after the Revolution -- were altogether otherwise.
The prime fault of this book is its utter lack of delving, into Xenia as an individual or the world in which she moved as either Grand Duchess or exile.

 Amazon.com: Once a Grand Duchess: Xenia, Sister of Nicholas II: Books: John Van Der Kiste   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Xenia is less well known than her brothers Nicholas and Michael or her younger sister Olga, whose biography/memoir The Last Grand Duchess by Ian Vorres, was published in 1964 and recently republished in paperback.
So this is a fairly interesting book with some new details about Xenia's life and family, but by reading it you are not going to feel that you knew her or have any real sense of what she was like as a person.
Xenia became the hub of a large family and the focal point of many migrs in her long exile and this book brings that into focus at last.

After the November 1894 marriage of Nicholas and Alexandra, all of Russia awaited an heir to the throne, who-according to law-must be male.

Instead of sparks flying between the recalcitrant Grand Duchess and the petulant Prince, however, the closest bonding appeared to be between Carol's younger brother, Nicholas, and the Tsarevich Alexei, when the latter showed the former how to spit grape seeds into the punch bowl.
