This is a very readable biography, well structured and researched, on the life of Josephine Bonaparte. At times it became difficult to put down, leading me on in the progress of the characters. Definitely worth the time invested to learn more about not only her but life in the first quarter of the 19th century France and Europe. A real life “rags-to-riches” story.

Kind of a cross between Jack the Ripper and Sherlock?? Not really sure. There were so many characters and I was never quite sure which narrator was "speaking". Rathe disjointed story-telling. Could have been much better if the author stayed in one voice.

Finally a biography on Princess Charlotte of Wales.

But why a painting of Queen Victoria as a cover? :/

Very engaging book. I particularly like how tying the life and death of Princess Charlotte in to the life of Victoria gives a much better context for the time than any book I've read on the subject previously.
