With her by his side, he became the greatest man in Europe, the Supreme Emperor; and she amassed a jewellery box with more diamonds than Marie Antoinette's. But as his fame grew, Napoleon became increasingly obsessed with his need for an heir and irritated with Josephine's extravagant spending. The woman who had enchanted France became desperate and jealous. Until, a divorcee aged forty-seven, she was forced to watch from the sidelines as Napoleon and his young bride produced a child. In this triumphant biography, Kate Williams tells Josephines searing story, of sexual obsession, politics and surviving as a woman in a mans world.Abandoned in Paris by her aristocratic husband, Josephine's future did not look promising.
