Description: The post-revolution years saw France in a state of flux, with the balance of power shifting back to the bourgeoisie. No-one's rise to power was more meteoric than that of the successful young general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Hortense Beauharnais finds herself rubbing shoulders with royalty as her mother remarries to become Bonaparte's wife.
