Uncle Bernac

3.4(160)

Louis de Laval returns to France from royalist exile in 1805 after receiving an invitation from his uncle, the formidable Bernac. Instead of a simple family reconciliation, Louis is drawn into intrigue around Napoleon’s camp at Boulogne, where the emperor is preparing the army and flotilla intended for an invasion of Britain.
Encounters with Napoleon and his entourage dominate the political side of the story, while Bernac’s schemes place Louis’s family loyalties and personal future at risk. The novel combines imperial court life, espionage and romance with a close view of the invasion preparations on the Channel coast.
