For anyone who wants to read something historical and doesn't know where to being, this is the place to do it. This entire series is well written, passionate, brilliantly researched, and puts you right there with the characters from the very beginning, and they will stay with you once you're finished. Sandra Gulland is an indescribable talent, and one of my favourite writers.
(I cried like a baby at the end of the third book, which I won't mention why because of spoilers, and in the middle of the second when the terror was happening in France. Very powerful stuff

Best Historical Fiction. Period. ( )

Highly recommended. Imaginative, meticulously researched, and beautifully told, these books make Josephine come alive. Sandra Gulland is a fantastic writer and you won't be able to put these books down -- be prepared for late nights and missed meals. ( )

I loved this series. I found the first two in a thrift store by chance and I had no problem paying full price for the third. This book is highly recommended for anyone who is into historical fiction. ( )
