About the book: 2018 / The novel-trilogy of the Canadian writer Sandra Galland tells the story of the most interesting woman of her time - Josephine Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon. Fate, full of joy and sorrow, rapid ups and dizzying falls, is captured in fragmentary entries in Josephine’s “diary” and fragments of letters she received. They create a monumental canvas, unprecedented in its coverage of vibrant human characters and epoch-making historical events..
