Description: NOTE: BROWNING OF PAGES DUE TO AGE.INSIDE CONDITION IS GOOD. Set in Paris at the end of the eighteenth century, Joséphine begins to awaken to the reality of her recent marriage to 'the Corsican' Napoleon Bonaparte, now General-in-Chief of the Army of Italy. Through Joséphine's diary entries and Napoleon's impassioned - almost disturbing - love letters, an astonishing portrait of an ingenuous, compassionate woman emerges, set against one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. Written in a spare but compelling style, this beautifully crafted novel brings the amazing drama of the legendary Joséphine to vibrant life.
