It is more than the story of its title in the sense that as the lives of the couple unfold a reader who is not very familiar with the history of France of that era gets a nice overview of that whole time in French society and politics. ( ) This is an excellent history book and a good story. This is a book that readers of historical fiction could enjoy. The story of their courtship and marriage and Napoleon's dramatic rise is always fascinating given the background of the French revolution. How did France move from eliminating the aristocracy, establishing a Republic, and then immediately fall behind a leader whose ultimate power far surpassed that of the Royal family and certainly spent far more public money than the Royal family ever had? The story of their spendid marriage and the vast amounts of money spent on it sets the stage. This was however , at least initially a true love match and the bond between the two remained strong for many years. It is a fascinating story. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
