Princess of Nowhere, The - Softcover

"Borghese's first novel, writing about his ancestors, is a labor of love ... Pauline is a spitfire of a heroine--flawed, petulant, extremely unlikable, and mesmerizing. Throughout, the most compelling evolution is Sophie's as she, like the reader, moves from being enamored with Pauline to disenchanted, but incapable of leaving her."--Publishers Weekly

"Historical fiction fans with an intense interest in Bonaparte lore will be intrigued by this account"--Library Journal

"A readable, racy romp."--Kirkus Reviews

A tale inspired by the life of Princess Pauline Bonaparte, written by a family descendant, follows the conquering emperor's sister's complicated marriage to Prince Camillo Borghese, a strategic relationship orchestrated by the ambitious Napoleon that is compromised by Pauline's passionate nature.
