The Josephine B. Trilogy

I think about Josephine Bonaparte all time. I just loved being a part of her world! First off Sandra Gulland is a polite, accurate and graceful writer. The three books connected perfectly and I really formed a strong connection with every character.

There's so much French history to learn along the way that it really teaches you about the French Revolution but in a first person perspective. The second book or diary, rather starts with Josephine married to Napoleon right where the first book left off. Since you've already drawn attachments to the characters in book one, this book really lets yo focus on Josephine and Bonaparte's relationship.

  • As Josephine falls in love with him, so do you! I was in tears! The third book was my favorite. This book is all about the glory and tragedy of her prophecy. I thought I was going to hate the ending, but it made me fall in love with Josephine all over again. I think I'm going to read all three of them again- and definitely give them to my girlfriends for Christmas.

    This book taught me a lot. It taught me about realistic love, motherhood and the importance of gratitude.

    I highly recommend this trilogy to everyone. Oct 11, Julia rated it it was amazing Shelves: This trilogy is absolutely amazing! It is written in a very personal diary-style and therefore we see everything through Josephines point of view. It's a true story though Sandra Gulland definetly changed a few things or maybe 'interpreted' them in her way , and I really love reading books about true happenings. Josephine lived a very adventurous life; she went through great and terrible fases but she always maintained optimistic and strong.

    And that tone is very dominant throughout the whole st This trilogy is absolutely amazing! And that tone is very dominant throughout the whole story. Sandra Gulland researched a lot for these books and I think it took her 8 years to finish them off and while I read it I learned so much about the French Revolution and about people's lifestyle at that time.

    This book will forever have a special place in my heart, because I really felt everything what Josephine was going through and she became kind of one of my idols. I think she was a very strong woman, very intelligent and also kind of a feminist. Every single person in this book is described in such detail that I feel like I know them.

    I don't know, you have to read it yourself and see if you agree with me or not. For me, it is an amazing trilogy that I will always re-read. Trilogy comprises three acclaimed, bestselling novels that draw the reader into the delicate yet passionate relationship between Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte: Adored by readers of historical fiction, the Josephine novels are a sweeping tale of love and loss, political intrigue and revolution during one of the most tumultuous periods in European history Feb 13, Ingrid rated it liked it.

    The Grisha Trilogy Series Trailer

    This is a 3 book series that you will love. It really gives a sweeping portrayl of Josephine's life and a time in history when things were different. These books carry you from her childhood, through turmoil with her first husband, and then into her falling for Napoleon and all that happens. You will really love this series if you like historical fiction. Mar 31, C. Mayo rated it it was amazing. An epistolary novel that brings the French Revolution and not only Josephine, but many of France's most intriguing personalities to such life, it sometimes seemed hard to believe I was reading fiction.

    Feb 02, Diana rated it it was amazing. Five stars aren't enough for this trilogy. The series has special meaning to me. After a more than three year dry spell, these were the first three books I not only read, but fairly flew through. I have since become a huge fan of Sandra Gulland. Jun 07, Victoria rated it it was amazing. I could not put this triology down. Napoleon does not appear until the end of book one. However, the life of his wife Josephine is so interesting. This book is written in journal form, so you sense her feelings about what is happening around her. I bet you can't read just one.

    It brings back the positive image of Josephine that was so common in her time and even later she is affectionately portrayed, for example,in Conan Doyle's historical novels in a believable and intelligent way. Apr 15, Judy rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: The historical novel captivated my imagination Insightful, historical and credible, I really enjoyed reviewing my French historical knowledge.

    I want to visit Mal Maison Josephine's country property outside France. One of the best books I have ever read!!! It was very interesting to see actual letters written from Napoleon to Josephine. It was very good. Jul 21, Micki rated it it was amazing. Sep 12, Liz rated it it was amazing. Such great historical fiction! I absolutely sped through this entire series. Nov 10, K Denise rated it it was amazing. I love this author's voice and the structure of these novels. Written as though from the personal journals of Josephine Bonaparte, Sandra Gulland brings to life the woman we all know as Josephine, but who began life in Martinique as a girl named Rose.

    Her trials did you know she went to prison during the Revolution? Even the often overlooked but I love this author's voice and the structure of these novels. Even the often overlooked but fascinating part of history, how Corsican Napoleon became a French Emporer, is revealed in this well-crafted trilogy.

    Although the books are twenty years old now, they are timeless and an enjoyable Historical Fiction read. Made even better by actually visiting Chateau Malmaison while visiting Paris I was totally immersed! If you love history and are interested in Napoleon, this is a must read! I adored this book and was so sad when it ended.
