Follows 'The Many Lives And Secret Sorrows Of Josephine B' and 'Tales Of Passion, Tales Of Woe'.
At the turn of the nineteenth century, Napoleon Bonaparte and his beloved Josephine inhabit the Tuileries Palace, sleeping in the bed of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. The years they have been married have been a time of extraordinary turmoil and triumph; a time of hope and disappointment in their desire for a child.
Support for the First Consul has never been more ecstatic in the streets and in the Republic, but the machinations of the old regime mean the lives of Bonaparte and all those around him are in constant danger. And never more so than when Bonaparte becomes Emperor and Josephine his Empress.
'The Last Great Dance On Earth' is the triumphant finale to Sandra Gulland's highly acclaimed Josephine trilogy; a brilliant feat of historical fiction that brings to vivid life Napoleon Bonaparte's empire, its rise and fall, and Josephine's greatest tragedy: her divorce from Napoleon and his exile to Elba.
