This is the final volume of Sandra Gulland's beloved trilogy based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte. When the novel opens, Joephine and Napoleon have been married for four tumultuous years. Their passionate union is troubled from within, as Josephine is unable to produce an heir, and from without, as England makes war against France and Napoleon's Cosican clan makes war against his wife. Through Josephine's heartfelt diary entries, we witness the personal betrayals and political intrigues that will finally drive them apart, culminating in Josephine's greatest tragedy : her divorce from Napoleon and his exile to Elba.
