Sandra Gulland's The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B.
The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B. by Sandra Gulland is a superbly imagined historical novel that follows the dramatic early life of Joséphine Bonaparte, from her Creole origins in Martinique to the glittering yet perilous courts of revolutionary France. This story, told through her made-up diary, paints a close-up picture of a woman who was shaped by love, sorrow, ambition, and destiny long before she married Napoleon Bonaparte.
This is the first book of the Joséphine B. Trilogy. It mixes accurate history with strong storytelling and deep emotions.
