An unbelievably awful book, short on anything remotely resembling actual history and long on fevered imagination. Once again this author takes a mostly imagined brief encounter between two historical personages and weaves a thin tale of intrigue and disagreement into something it defintely was not. The very idea that Recamier had a single thing to do with Napoelon's downfall is absurd, and this third-rate scribbler fails to make this nonsensical claim viable.

This book isn't even decent "women's fiction"--most women I know would be insulted by such pablum--and I don't understand why Pen & Sword continues to publish this author's pitiful and poorly written historical junk.

Avoid like COVID-19.

Super Glup!!!…
