(4) YA It's 1798, four years after the Terror in France when the guillotine threatened, and fifteen-year-old Hortense attends a girls' boarding school outside Paris. Accomplished in her studies, she dreams of composing her own music. Being the (real-life) stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte, however, comes with certain expectations. This fictional account favors authentically portraying history and period mentality over granting its characters great depth. Glos.
