The Last Great Dance on Earth

The Last Great Dance on Earth: A Novel | Sandra Gulland

#3books that made me cry --
The first two are #Hungarian, a moving coming-of-age story by Magda Szabo, and a beautiful book by Kriszta D. Tóth about her mom. The Last Great Dance on Earth is the third book in Gulland's Josephine B trilogy, which deals with Napoleon's final years in France from Josephine's vantage point. Each book in the trilogy is great but this last one really moved me to tears 😌

I love Josephine. This is the last in the trilogy and it was great, obviously it has a sad ending.
And men, what is it with crowns and sons 💔

Andrew65 Loved this whole trilogy. 5y

deirdrebeecher I miss historical fiction, finding it really hard to find new stuff of this quality apart from Mantel (who is off in her own league). Too often when I search for historical fiction it is historical fantasy which pops up, and while I love that too, they are not the same thing. 5y

TrishB @Andrew65 it was really good 👍🏻 5y

TrishB @deirdrebeecher have you read Sharon Penman? I think she‘s up there withMantel. Elizabeth Chadwick is also worth a try (not as ‘meaty‘ as the other two but still good!). 5y

Caroline2 Sounds brilliant, I just ordered the first book off eBay! 😉 5y
