Narrative To Books Désirée
The stunning, massively bestselling story of Napoleon's first fiancé
First published in 1953, this riveting true-life tale comes to life in diary form, giving readers an inside glimpse at the young Napoleon and his family. Désirée is enchanted by the young officer, and he asks her to marry him. But he must leave for Paris, where he meets his eventual wife Josephine. A heartbroken Désirée is unsure she'll ever find anyone again. A love story, but so much more, Désirée is the tale of a simple merchant's daughter who ends up with a kind of royalty she never expected: an unforgettable story just waiting to be reborn.

This used to be one of my favorite books back when I was a teenager, but reading it again after all this time, I can't for the life of me figure out why. I don't know if it's the diary style, the translation, or if I've just changed very drastically since then. But honestly, I couldn't stand Désirée this time around. I thought she was childish (and since pretty much every man she interacts with, including her husband, tells her all the time how childish and stupid she is, I guess it can't be
Excellent older book by Annemarie Selinko about the life of Eugenie Desiree Clary, a silk merchant's daughter, who was the first love of Napoleon Bonaparte. She later married Jean Baptiste Bernadotte who became the King of Sweden. Their descendants rule Sweden today.I read this book years ago and am rereading it again.

Another one of my go-to book recommendations, especially for people who love historical fiction, France or Napoleon. Absolutely stunning in it's wealth of details, it has imagery and situations so scandalous it is difficult to believe it was written in 1951.

(view spoiler)[ Bettie's Books (hide spoiler)] Now for the film: Mike nodded. A sombre nod. The nod Napoleon might have given if somebody had met him in 1812 and said, "So, you're back from Moscow, eh? P.G. Wodehouse, Mike and Psmith Malmaison
The bad first - it is fictional and it is basically chick-lit. But seriously...one of the best historical fiction/chick lit books.The novel tells in diary style the life of Désirée Clary-Bernadotte. Napoleon Bonaparte's first fiancee, later Madame Marechale Bernadotte and finally Queen Desideria of Sweden (who is also sister-in-law to Napoleon's brother Joseph). All of these are true historical facts and make in themselves a compelling read. In her diary entries which run from about 1793 to
