6/1/2023 0 Comments I was anastasia book![]() ![]() Until that reference to six bullet wounds - that had me doubting myself. I thought at first the author just didn't catch the errors, but it happened a few times so I was pretty sure by the end that the woman posing as Anna was not in fact Anastasia. Anastasia was born in 1901 and Franziska was born in 1896, so when the chapter started with a date and then referred to her age the math didn't always work. There were other inconsistencies which bothered me at the time and tipped me off. That wasn't so much a slight-of-hand as a full fib. I Was Anastasia is the amazing story of Anna Anderson, a woman who claimed to be, Anastasia Romanov, the Grand Duchess of Russia, and the only family member to survive the Romanov massacre of. Franziska just had wounds from the detonation of the grenade, which may have looked bad but probably didn't look like six bullet wounds in the same places that Anastasia was shot. But honestly, it wasn't a fair set-up because "Anna" goes to the doctor right after she jumps off the bridge and the nurses observe six bullet wounds (entry and exit), which Franziska wouldn't have had. Franziska goes by Anna Anderson - and we're not entirely sure when or why she takes that name. (view spoiler) [It comes out in the very end that Anna Anderson was indeed the long-lost Franziska Schanzkowska - we see her brothers and sister try to claim her in the book but she pretends not to know them. ![]()
