From the back of the book: "The Passion intertwines the destinies of two remarkable people: the soldier Henri, for eight years the faithful cook who follows Napoleon from the glory of Empure to Russian ruin, and Villanelle, the red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman.... In Venice, both meet their singular destiny in a combustion of love and politics."
That sounds kind of puffed-up, when I read it over. So I will add my two cents: this is a tautly written story, in the crispest of prose, with a fast-moving plot.
