The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B by Sandra Gulland
'You will be unhappily wed. You will be widowed. You will be Queen.' To fourteen-year-old Rose, eldest daughter of a poor plantation landlord, the fortune teller's prophecy is both thrilling and laughable. Poorly educated and without a dowry, it seems unlikely she will find any husband, much less a king. But history tells a different tale. In this beautifully crafted novel, Sandra Gulland pulls back the veil of history to reveal the extraordinary life of the woman who will one day be known as Josephine Bonaparte, wife of the emperor who will rule all France.
A writer and editor, Sandra Gulland was brought up in California and moved to Canada in 1970. She worked on the Josephine novels for many years, travelling extensively to the places where Josephine lived, learning to speak and read French and corresponding with period scholars. She lives in Ontario with her husband and two children.
