Abandoned in Paris by her aristocratic husband Josephine's future did not look promising. But while her friends and contemporaries were sent to the guillotine during the Terror that followed the Revolution she survived prison and emerged as the doyenne of a wildly debauched party scene surprising everybody when she encouraged the advances of a short marginalised Corsican soldier six years her junior.
Josephine the fabulous hostess and skilled diplomat was the perfect consort to the ambitious but obnoxious Napoleon. 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.
