I thought Josephine was sensitively played in the movie. What a wonderful actress! I look forward to learning more about her in this book we’re reading. Thanks for introducing this book Jacqueline.
La Malmaison was Josephine’s private home given to her by Napoleon . It’s now a museum that can be visited and it’s a beautiful place of course : https://musees-nationaux-malmaison.fr/chateau-malmaison/
