The author draws on personal documents and contemporary accounts to provide insights into Marie-Louise’s character, her emotional struggles, and the political intriguessurrounding her during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, the author sets up the context of Marie-Louise’s life as she grapples with her separation from Napoleon in 1814 and the ensuing challenges of being a dethroned empress.
