Fourteen year old Desiree can't believe her good fortune. Her fiance, a dashing and ambitious Napoleon Bonaparte, is poised for battlefield success, and no longer will she be just a French merchant's daughter. She could not have known the twisting path her role in history would take, nearly breaking her vibrant heart but sweeping her to a life rich in passion and desire. A love story, but so much more, Desiree explores the landscape of a young heart torn in two.

History comes alive
Revisado: 12-22-21
For 60 years I loved this book and now am besotted with the reading by Nicole Quinn, who impersonates, with her voice, not only the first person writer. Desiree, but the characters of the French Revolution, who made history - the slippery Talleyrand, the stellar Lafayette, the greedy Moreau, and of course Napoleon as he changed from an ambitious youth to a power crazed tyrant. It is a collection of love found and love lost, with unforgettable scenes as when Empress Josephine - who ‘took’ Napoleon from Desiree- summons Desiree to the Tuileries, for comfort, when she is divorced by Napoleon. Hear this and fifty years of history comes alive.
