She was born as a daughter of a poor plantation owner on the island of Martinique and against all odds became the empress of France. Josephine and Napoléon, 'the great lovers in history' were not always so much in love and there were many conflicts between them.  Jealousy, betrayal and a dramatic divorce was more reality than passion, trust and happiness. But still there is a mystery about their relationship and devotion. Indiscreet Josephine reveals some of the secrets of her rise and fall.
