The Other Bonaparte
Monday, February 23, 2009
Relatives of powerful people can often be a source of controversy (think Roger Clinton and Neil Bush) and Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, Pauline, was no exception. She had notorious love affairs, wore opulent jewels and clothing and posed nearly nude for Canova’s sculpture of her. Acclaimed biographer Flora Fraser illuminates the charmed life of Napoleon’s favorite sister in Pauline Bonaparte: Venus of Empire.
