Publisher Description: In 1814 Napoleon Bonaparte arrived on St. Helena for a surreal exile that would last until his death six years later. - "Dazzling... a compelling meditation on Napoleon's exile...Blackburn has brought her startlingly imaginative sensitivity to bear on a vanished time."--The New York Times Book Review

"A resonant meditation on exile, fame, the stories we tell about ourselves (and) the bigger stories we tell about our great figures." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
