Empress Might Have Been: The Love Story of Marie Valevska and Napoleon

Book Description
1927. Among the readers of this novel there may be a few who will note with horror that in the misspelling of the heroine's name a new pang has been added to the sorrows of Countess Walewska. The translator takes refuge in the fact that a historical romance admits of greater license than a work of pure history. In the forlorn hope of saving the beautiful Marie from a horrendous fate, the translator has taken certain phonetic liberties with a patronymic which, after all, was not her own. Contents: 1808; The Divorce; The New Empress; The Island of Elba.
