Napoleon's Last Island by Thomas Keneally
4.0
Despite having visited Waterloo battlefield and knowing that Napoleon's last few years were spent on St. Helena, I was ignorant of what happened during those years.
This exploration of those last years via historical fiction pique my interest and desire to dive deeper into Napoleon. I admit that the history-lover in me relished the thought of these ordinary people deep in a colonial backwater of backwaters, playing host to one of the mightiest figures in history.
