À propos de cet audio

To be young, in France, and in love....

Fourteen-year-old Desiree can't believe her good fortune. Her fiance, the dashing and ambitious Napoleon Bonaparte, is poised for battlefield success, and no longer will she be just a French merchant's daughter. She could not have known the twisting path her role in history would take, nearly breaking her vibrant heart but sweeping her to a life rich in passion and desire.

A love story, but so much more, Desiree explores the landscape of a young heart torn in two, giving listeners a compelling true story of an ordinary girl whose unlikely brush with history leads to a throne no one would have expected.

An epic best seller that has earned both critical acclaim and mass adoration, Desiree is at once a novel of the rise and fall of empires, the blush and fade of love, and the heart and soul of a woman.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"An epic love story...irresistible reading." ( Chicago Tribune)
"This is a fascinating panorama, from the blood-and-sawdust reek of Robespierre's guillotine to the final collapse of the Hundred Days." ( New York Times)
“Presented as a series of diary entries over the course of her eventful life, Désirée's story not only sheds light on the life of a fascinating woman but also captures in haunting detail some of the century's most extraordinary personalities. Quinn admirably captures Désirée's unique voice at each stage of her life, from teenage petulance and crushing heartbreak to the confident tones of her eventual rise to royalty in the heyday of Napoleon's reign.” ( AudioFile)

I have read this book 5 times in full in my 32 years of life so far and I am left with so much fascination and awe every time I finish it. The story is enticing, beautifully crafted, filled with genuine emotions and purity, and an amazingly smooth read.

I recommend this book to everyone, as I believe there is a lesson in the story for all; in particular, if you are one working towards a brighter future for all.

This was my first time listening to the audio version of the book and I must truly acknowledge the beautiful work that was done in the production of this version. Amazing job and much much gratitude!

One of the most valuable masterpieces of our time
