""A Queen of Napoleon's Court: The Life Story of Desiree Bernadotte"" by Catherine Bearne is a biography of Desiree Bernadotte, a woman who rose to prominence during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. Born in 1777 in Marseille, France, Desiree was the daughter of a wealthy merchant family. She was married off at a young age to a soldier named Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, who would later become King of Sweden and Norway.Desiree was known for her beauty and charm, and she quickly became a favorite of Napoleon's court. She was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to Napoleon's wife, Empress Josephine, and she became a confidante to both Napoleon and Josephine.Despite her close relationship with the emperor, Desiree's life was not without its challenges. She suffered several miscarriages and struggled to conceive a child. She also faced political turmoil as Napoleon's empire began to crumble.After Napoleon's defeat, Desiree and her husband were exiled to Sweden, where Jean-Baptiste was eventually crowned king. Desiree became queen consort and played an important role in Swedish politics.""A Queen of Napoleon's Court"" provides a detailed account of Desiree's life, from her early years in Marseille to her time at Napoleon's court and her later years as queen of Sweden.
