Title: Empress of the French
Review: This is the third book I've read by Carolly Erickson and I have not once been disappointed. Miss Erickson successfully brings history to life in each of her books, this time taking on the tumultuous life of Josephine, future wife of Bonaparte and Empress of France. From the beginning you realize how many harrowing events Josephine went through, sometimes emerging a stronger person, sometimes not. Despite all that, she was devoted to her children and extended family, never forgetting where she came from and what she wished to achieve for them after she had gone. Remaining popular with the people up until her death, Josephine always expressed kindness and generosity to all she met, despite station, friend or foe. Miss Erickson is a good biography writer and I look forward to reading another in her ever growing collection.
