Annotation
With last years Madame Tussaud, the author of saga favorites like The Heretic Queen left behind Egypt for France. This book is not a sequel to Morans portrait of the celebrated wax sculptor but a re-creation of Napoleons famously bawdy court, focusing on three women: Napoleons stepdaughter, Hortense Beauharnais; his sister Pauline, who bedded everyone, including, quite likely, her brother; and his wife, Marie-Louise, eager to be quit of her capricious husband. Moran draws extensively on the liberal documentation all three women left behind. Lots of publicity.
