Title: Unresolved Passion of Doomed Romance in Napoleon Era
Product review: In her second novel, Jeanette Winterson audaciously deals with one of the most significant giants in the history of Europe, Napoleon Bonaparte, along with lives of people he had screwed in various ways. In countryside of France and Russia, Paris, and unforgettably mystified Venice, the romance of two freakish-but-ordinary-just-like-you protagonists, French soldier Henri and Venetian card dealer Villanelle, gets heated, twisted, and doomed.For Winterson, the story is comparatively linear and straightforward, while as usual the thoughts around time, history, philosophy, happiness, freedom, love, and death, fill up between the incidents. Without a typical happy ending, the author seems to want the readers to carry on exploring Villanelle and Henri's unresolved passions.
