Sister/Sister

[valinaraii]

Allison Pataki’s novel about Désirée Clary is godawful, but I am debating with myself if it reaches the level of godawfulness of her two previous books about Sissi or if it’s even worse. I am in the middle of the book that contains:

Completely inaccurate descriptions of Napoleon Bonaparte in completely wrong periods. Example, in this universe he’s supposed to be plump during the fucking Italian Campaign. As in 1796-97

Also his eyes are described as green (?)

Also his novel, I mean Clisson et Eugénie, is not only published but also a best-seller.

By the way, he calls her Désirée instead of Eugénie, the name he preferred to adress her in real life.

Her sister calls her Desi, because of reasons. I am reminded of this (Spanish kids will understand):

General Duphot (born in September 1769) is described as an extremely old gentleman. He manages to get killed in Rome in 1797, though, so one point for that last accurate fact I guess.

The Flight to Varennes never existed; at least is never suggested that this happened between Louis XVI and Marie Antoniette being brought from Versailles and the storming of the Tuileries in August 1792.

In her first conversation with Désirée, Josephine is vocal in her condemnation of slavery... Okay...

Also her house in the Rue Chantereine is described as having vaste salons. Let’s take a look at such huge mansion:

(Not exceedingly impressive, eh? I mean my flat is way worse but in no universe is this little hôtel vaste)

Until now, that is, half of the book, Désirée’s personality is practically reduced to tell us readers what Napoleon and wife are doing, apart of how annoying Napoleon’s sisters and mother are. And oh, Bernadotte is also there and she just had a baby.

I got two "post 10 facts about yourself" in my inbox. But I really have no idea what I should say. The first time I answered one of them, it took me a while to think of 10 things unique about me...
