Désirée

The life...the women...the conquests of Napoleon!

Set in Marseilles in 1794, the story follows young millinery clerk Desiree Clary as she becomes infatuated with Napoleon Bonaparte, only to marry General Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, an aide to Napoleon who later joins the forces that bring about the Emperor's downfall. In a parallel thread, the worldly courtesan Josephine Beauharnais marries Napoleon and becomes Empress of France, but is ultimately cast aside by her spouse when she proves unable to produce an heir to the throne.
