The Emperor's Last Island by Julie Blackburn
In 1814 Napoleon Bonaparte arrived on St. Helena for a surreal exile that would last until his death six years later. A resonant meditation on exile, fame, the stories we tell about ourselves (and) the bigger stories we tell about our great figures. --Los Angeles Times Book Review
