This is a biography of the wife of Napoleon III and the empress of the second empire. It is written from a very supportive view and is very readable.
It does not set out to supply new information but it does give an interesting portrait of second empire life and is a great background to the Rougon Macquart novels of Emile Zola.
A good bibliography as well. 8/10
