Tantor Audio have issued a new audiobook of March 1917, Book 1, narrated by Daniel Henning. Here is an excerpt from Chapter 1.
“Nikolai spent sixty-six days at Alix’s side in the contained stillness of Tsarskoye Selo, by his presence easing her immeasurable grief over her loss. (Fortunately, the winter lull at the front had permitted this absence from GHQ.)
Troubled, restless, and grief-stricken, Alix had communicated to Nikolai her sense of an impending stretch of disasters and misfortunes that would not be overcome quickly.
There was another disaster as well: the poor man’s death had drawn a line of misunderstanding between Nikolai and Alix. They had always had different views of Grigori, his essence and significance and the extent of his wisdom, but Nikolai had never insisted on this, sparing Alix’s feelings and belief. Now, though, Alix could not forgive her husband for not handing the murderers over to justice.”
