The Adventuress

The follow-up to the lyrical, haunting novel-in-pictures The Three Incestuous Sisters, The Adventuress tells a new tale of love, loss and redemption. When an alchemist's daughter is kidnapped, she escapes into the arms of a man named Napoleon Bonaparte. Together the Adventuress and Napoleon share a passionate romance which has tragic, yet transcendent, results.

Niffenegger's stunning, lavish prints again depict a timeless, evocative tale and showcase her unique talent as an artist and writer.
