A Novel of Desiree, Napoleon, and the Dynasty That Outlasted the Empire
Excited to share this latest review from Publishers Weekly.
Pataki’s skill in chronicling Napoleon’s transformation from an idealistic young soldier to a ruthless, callous leader drives the story, and her sumptuous scenes allow the reader to easily examine the political machinations and extreme luxury of the monarchy. Readers who enjoy Elizabeth Chadwick will want to take a look.
