Synopsis

A sweeping historical debut about the Creole socialite who transformed herself into an empress
 
Readers are fascinated with the wives of famous men. In Becoming Josephine, debut novelist Heather Webb follows Rose Tascher as she sails from her Martinique plantation to Paris, eager to enjoy an elegant life at the royal court. Once there, however, Rose's aristocratic soldier-husband dashes her dreams by abandoning her amid the tumult of the French Revolution. After narrowly escaping death, Rose reinvents herself as Josephine, a beautiful socialite wooed by an awkward suitor-Napoleon Bonaparte.
 
"A debut as bewitching as its protagonist." -Erika Robuck, author of Hemingway's Girl and Call Me Zelda
 
"Vivid and passionate." -Susan Spann, author of The Shinobi Mysteries
