I recognized the cover as Josephine — gorgeous painting and impressive jewelry based on something real.
Another gem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugénie_de_Montijo
I had heard of Napoleon III, but I had never thought to consider his wife. She's gorgeous and there's a diamond named after her.
Enjoyed the da Vinci selection.
Fantastic overall.
