The book recounts the journey of Empress Marie-Louise as she visits the glaciers of Savoie in 1814, reflecting on the political turmoil following the fall of the Napoleonic Empire. This narrative provides insights into her emotions and experiences during a time of personal and national crisis as she faced the challenges of her new reality. The opening of the book introduces the background and circumstances leading up to Marie-Louise's excursion, set against the backdrop of military defeat and political upheaval in Europe. It details the emotions she grapples with as she is forced to leave France, the land she once ruled, and portrays her deep sense of loss and longing for the past. As she prepares for her travels in July, a complex mix of hope and despair colors her journey, setting the stage for the exploration of both the stunning landscapes she encounters and the reflective thoughts on her life and the legacy of her marriage to Napoleon. The narrative aims to capture the genuine feelings of the ex-empress as she escapes momentarily to the majestic beauty of the Alps to find solace amidst her emotional turmoil.
