Pauline, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, is beautiful, young, and nothing more than a bridal pawn for her brother. She is widowed, but hopes to find happiness in marriage to her new husband Prince Camillo Borghese. But Pauline's zest for life proves to be too much for her husband's sensibilities. Disappointment and misunderstanding continue to pull these two farther and farther apart. Yet, can a love between these two ever be truly destroyed?
"The Princess of Nowhere" by Prince Lorenzo Borghese (definite relation) tells the story of Pauline through the eyes of a cousin, Sophie. While many know of Napoleon, his siblings remain lesser known but no less intriguing. I loved this book from the very first page, with the wonderful descriptive settings, characters larger than life, and sweeping passions. For anyone who enjoys historical entertainment, this a must have for their bookshelves.
