Louisa: The Extraordinary Life of Mrs. Adams by Louisa Thomas

3.0

I knew next to nothing about Louisa Adams, and so I did indeed learn a substantial amount. Her experiences in court and especially her harrowing journey from Russia to Paris during Napoleon's return was fascinating. Sadly the rest was for the most part rather mundane. Louisa was a remarkable woman for her time, but this biography shows up close how narrow the woman's sphere truly was, and her husband INSUFFERABLE.
