Publisher's Summary:
Popular biographer Carolly Erickson creates intimate and richly detailed portraits of her historical subjects. In this book she offers a provocative new perspective on Josephine and her fabled marriage to Napoleon.
Josephines story is as turbulent as the revolutionary era in which she livedand even more tantalizing than her reputation. Brought up on the lush island of Martinique, Josephine arrived in Paris with a charming Creole lilt, an earthy West Indian manner, and a sweet, unaffected nature. A disastrous first marriage, financial hardship, and the violent realities of the French Revolutionincluding a stay in the harshest prison in Parisforged her into a survivor. But would she survive her marriage to the insecure military leader from Corsica who would become Emperor of France.
