Beschreibung
Readers of Stephanie Drey and Allison Pataki will enjoy this highly anticipated sequel, an epic saga of love set during the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt that explores loyalty, cultural failures, and a potentially history-altering military defeat.More than a year has elapsed since the ghetto gates were destroyed and Ancona's Jewish community liberated by Napoleon's troops. Yet Mirelle is ostracizedby the community, her erstwhile best friend, and even her motherand labeled a ';ruined woman.' As her efforts to nurture her family's legacy are thwarted, she realizes she might have lost her last chance at love. Meanwhile, Daniel, now a lieutenant in the French army, and Christophe, the man responsible for Mirelle's disgrace, set sail to an unknown destination with General Bonaparte's forces. There, Napoleon and his men face a harsh and unforgiving landscape and new, implacable enemies, and Daniel's faith in and loyalty to the commander he once worshiped are put to the test. Epic and rich with well-researched detail, Napoleon's Mirage is a novel of misguided ambition leading to brutal warfare, failures of cultural appropriation, and a military defeat that just may have changed the course of history.
