I have been trying to build my case that Napoleon and his stepdaughter/sister-in-law/mother-to-his heir, mother of Napoleon III, Hortense were perhaps twin flames.
To make the truth better known, I have been working very hard to make Hortense’s Memoirs available for Kindle devices.

To be sure I had abandoned all my youthful dreams of domestic bliss and for years had not dared even to think of them again. Sorrow was all that life held for me. How could it be otherwise since the bond of matrimony which I believed should be the fairest portion of my existence was its most galling burden? My children's life, their mother's reputation were at . . .”
