About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster / Scribner, August 1999. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Prior owner's name to first page. Spine straight, tight and uncrease. Covers clean and bright. Not from a library. 436 pages.
Passion intertwines with fate in this riveting and historically rich novel about the journey of a woman from poverty to ultimate power in Revolution-era France.
In this book inspired by the life of Josephine Bonaparte, we meet Josephine in the exotic and lush Martinico, where an old island woman predicts that one day she will be queen. The journey from the remote village of her birth to the height of European elegance is long, but Josephine's fortune proves to be true. By way of fictionalized diary entries, we traverse her early years as she marries her one true love, bears his children, and is left betrayed, widowed, and penniless. It is Josephine's extraordinary charm, cunning, and will to survive that catapults her to the heart of society, where she meets Napoleon, whose destiny will prove to be irrevocably intertwined with hers.
