The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte (Paperback)

"Tell the emperor that Madame Bonaparte is ambitious and demands her rights as a member of the imperial family."
As a clever girl in stodgy, mercantile Baltimore, Betsy Patterson dreams of a marriage that will transport her to cultured Europe. When she falls in love with and marries Jerome Bonaparte, she believes her dream has come true-until Jerome's older brother Napoleon becomes an implacable enemy.
Based on a true story, "The Ambitious Madame Bonaparte" is a historical novel that portrays this woman's tumultuous life. Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, known to history as Betsy Bonaparte, scandalized Washington with her daring French fashions; visited Niagara Falls when it was an unsettled wilderness; survived a shipwreck and run-ins with British and French warships; dined with presidents and danced with dukes; and lived through the 1814 Battle of Baltimore. Yet through it all, Betsy never lost sight of her primary goal-to win recognition of her marriage.
