Book of the Week - Venus of Empire - The Life of Pauline Bonaparte - Episode 5

Diana Quick reads from Flora Fraser's biography of Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon's favourite sister. While Napoleon's great reign comes to an end, Pauline re-establishes herself as a 'little queen' in Roman society. But it is not long before she realises that her brother's health is poor and that she must do all in her power to help him. A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.
