The novel is set during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon to power. The book follows Josephine's journey from her early life in Martinique to her marriage to Alexandre de Beauharnais, a French aristocrat who was eventually executed during the Reign of Terror. After her husband's death, Josephine becomes involved in the political and social circles of Paris, where she meets and falls in love with Napoleon Bonaparte. The novel explores the complex relationship between Josephine and Napoleon, from their passionate courtship to their eventual separation and divorce. It also delves into the political intrigue and power struggles of the era, as Napoleon rises to become Emperor of France and Josephine navigates the treacherous waters of court politics.
