THE OUEEN OF NAPLES
Elizabeth Mayhew
Caroline Bonaparte was beautiful,
intelligent-and ambitious. This
ambition was to lead her, like her
brother Napoleon, to eventual disaster.
Married very young to the handsome
and dashing Joachim Murat,
Napoleon's brilliant leader of cavalry.
she spared no efforts to further her
husband's career, for the ultimate
benefit of the children they both
adored. In doing so she gained the
reputation of a scheming opportunist
and a traitor. This fascinating book
explores her motives, whilst giving
amusing and intimate glimpses of life
behind the scenes at the gaudy
Imperial court and amongst the
Bonaparte brothers and sisters.
