Josephine B. Trilogy by Sandra Gulland

This is an amazing trilogy of novels! I enjoyed each and every one. I would suggest reading all 3 in order to have the best experience. I know that they have been out for a while (first published in 1995-2000) but they are still remarkable. If you have not found them yet you will be inspired by the strength of Josephine's character and the detail and beauty of the writing. The 3 novels take you from her childhood in Martinico to her life in Paris and beyond. Gulland writes a captivating story brought to us through Josephine's journal entries and really connects us to her private world and thoughts. Her description of the period clothing alone is breath taking.

I highly recommend the journey and if you are in Paris remember to visit all of the fantastic historical places that shaped Josephine's life.
