#85 The Secret Life of Josephine By Carolly Erickson.

#85 The Secret Life of Josephine By Carolly Erickson.

Liked this historical fiction about the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Rose (that is her year first name) or Yeyette (family nickname) grew up on an island owned by France and lived on a plantation (with African slaves) and had no worries.  She meets a man that she thinks might be the one but  wants the local island shaman to tell her if he will be the one she marries.  He crushes that dream but kills a snake before it kills her.  (*hint: the snake is a metaphor).  Later she goes to France by boat and it was horrible.  Gets to France and marries her cousin, who is horrible.  Becomes really good at making money on her own.  Survives the French Revolution and then unintentionally attracts the attention of Napoleon, who is horrible.  Josephine (that Napoleon requires her to be called) has a lot of ups and downs in fer life.
