Napoleon's Mirage: A Novel

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 ostracized - by the community, her erstwhile best friend, and even her mother - and 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.
