| abstract | Queen Marie of Romania ranks among Europe’s most colorful and fascinating figures: as a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, a celebrated monarch, and a political symbol of her country, she possessed an extraordinary charisma. Yet, behind the courtly ceremony and historical grandeur lay a human being in search of meaning, truth, and spiritual guidance. In this book, Eugenia Johrend retells Marie’s remarkable life story: from her youth within the royal houses of Europe, through her role alongside Ferdinand I and her dedication to Romania during times of war and upheaval, to her surprising embrace of the Bahá’í Faith. At the heart of this narrative lies a little-known yet deeply moving spiritual dimension of her life—one that gained unexpected depth through her encounters with Martha Root and the influence of Shoghi Effendi. Drawing upon historical sources, letters, diary entries, and eyewitness accounts, Johrend paints the portrait of a queen caught between duty and longing, between political responsibility and inner calling. Marie’s growing openness to the message of Bahá’u’lláh—coupled with her anguish over Europe’s descent into despotism and violence—transforms this biography into a compelling narrative of faith, courage, and spiritual steadfastness. The result is far more than a mere chronicle of a life: it is a vivid panorama of Romanian history and a striking portrait of a woman who not only shaped a nation but also embarked upon a spiritual journey that continues to resonate to this day. |
