Abbott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the life and times of Hortense de Beauharnais, the stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte, illuminating the dramatic backdrop of the French Revolution and its aftermath. The narrative explores not only the tribulations and triumphs of its central character but also the complex relationships and societal changes that defined her era. The opening of the book introduces Josephine, Hortense's mother, recounting her struggles from an early age, including a forced marriage and the turbulent impacts of the French Revolution. As the narrative progresses, it highlights Josephine's enduring love for her children, even amidst political turmoil and personal tragedies, culminating in the execution of her first husband. The gripping early chapters set the stage for Hortense's rise in the imperial court as the daughter of Napoleon, exploring themes of loyalty, love, and the complexities of family ties during a revolutionary age.
