I just finished the last of the trilogy that I've been reading about the life of Josephine Bonaparte…wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. It details her life in first person as written in her journal. I LOVED it. Historical fiction is my absolute favorite genre, and this series was so captivating and well-written. Heart-wrenching. Great characterization. Wonderfully educational. Historically accurate (italicized historical references given throughout). I highly recommend these books, as they have become some of my new favorites.
Beware of…a few mild bedroom scenes, lots of infidelity (it will break your heart), and what I think was some mildly bad language in French (but since I studied Spanish, I was unaffected!).
Next I move on to Kathryn Stockett's The Help. Based on the reviews, I'm excited to start!
