An Unflinching Eyewitness Account: An intimate chronicle of resilience through the Napoleonic era and the Bourbon Restoration, told with shrewdness, humor, and remarkable recall.
A Who's Who of History: Walk the halls of power alongside a woman who knew everyone, from Talleyrand and Lafayette to the Empress Josephine herself.
