Because that aired a long time ago, my recollections are rather vague, but I do know (based in part on your review) that I'd like to read the book to refresh my memory and learn more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372549397713160998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-41109746177095974382014-01-26T21:24:13.939-05:002014-01-26T21:24:13.939-05:00Thanks for the recommendation.

I didn't mind the pacing at the end as much, but it was a little fast paced and I would have liked a little bit more of a conclusion too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-64344644879505028222014-01-26T21:23:01.195-05:002014-01-26T21:23:01.195-05:00If this is an era you like then you will likely en...If this is an era you like then you will likely enjoy this book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-59695623674023621532014-01-18T12:55:09.164-05:002014-01-18T12:55:09.164-05:00Great review, Heather.

I enjoyed Webb's writing style and felt she did a great job bringing Josephine to life. Since you mentioned you have Sandra Gulland's Josephine B trilogy waiting to be read I have to highly recommend it as the books are by far and away my favourite novels featuring Josephine (In general, I'm not much of a fan of French Revolution-era historical fiction either).
