The article discusses the book "Twice Born in Russia," by Natalia Petrova and translated by Baroness Mary Budberg. Natalia Petrova is the pen name of a princess from Soviet Union now happily married to one of the most distinguished of journalists. Her story of her life in that country before and in the Russian revolution is one of the most moving and harrowing narratives yet published of the fate that befell the nobility after the Czar and grand dukes had wrecked and ruined their country. More than that, it is distinguished by a generosity and an absence of bitterness and hate which stamp the writer as a woman of true spiritual greatness. Her heroism is beyond question.
