Summary:
Set in Paris at the end of the 18th century, this book opens as Josephine awakes to the reality of her recent marriage to "the Corsican", now General-in-Chief of the Army of Italy. Through Josephine's diary entries and Napoleon's impassioned - and at times disturning- love letters, an astonishing portrait of a canny and compassionate woman emerges, set against one of the most tumultuous periods in European history.
