In the previous take, she is portrayed as a shallow and vain woman, only interested in her own survival and self-indulgence. I chose to indulge in another look at Josephine after reading an account that left a bad taste in my mouth. Little does she know, he would become the most powerful man of his century- Napoleon Bonaparte.īecoming Josephine is a novel of one woman's journey to find eternal love and stability, and ultimately to find herself. Yet her youth is fading, and Josephine must choose between a precarious independence and the love of an awkward suitor. Through her savoir faire, Rose secures her footing in high society, reveling in handsome men and glitzy balls-until the heads of her friends begin to roll.Īfter narrowly escaping death in the blood-drenched cells of Les Carmes prison, she reinvents herself as Josephine, a socialite of status and power. But Alexandre dashes her hopes and abandons her amid the tumult of the French Revolution. She arrives exultant to follow her dreams of attending Court with Alexandre, her elegant aristocrat and soldier husband. Rose Tascher sails from her Martinique plantation to Paris to trade her Creole black magic culture for love and adventure. First attention getter: reviews by other bloggers
