Three by Sandra G.






The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B.
 
Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe
 
The Last Great Dance on Earth
 
Excellent trilogy of novels based on the life of Josephine Bonaparte by Sandra Gulland.  These books are written in the form of letters and diaries kept by Josephine Bonaparte.  Gulland took many years to write them and they are extremely accurate in their detail.  She also uses many footnotes of explanation and enlightenment of various passages.  Through her eyes we see the love and loyalty Josephine had for her family and for Bonaparte.
