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.
