The Many Lives And Secret Sorrows Of Josephine B. by Sandra Gulland
A richly imagined, intimate portrait that follows a woman from a carefree childhood in the Caribbean through marriage into French aristocracy, the terror of revolution and the execution of her first husband, to a dazzling but fraught ascent beside a brilliant, volatile leader; blending historical detail with psychological insight, the novel uncovers how charm, fashion and cunning become tools of survival while hidden longings, heartbreaks, betrayals and painful compromises reveal the private sorrows and quiet resilience behind public glamour.
