Gulland is a fabulous writer. I've reviewed the first in her Josephine trilogy, The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B. (see review), and keep meaning to read the other two. The first one absolutely brought Josephine to life for me, and if the other two are even half as good, these are the definitive novels about Josephine.I haven't read Gulland's books

[quote=""LoobyG""]I've devoured all of Gulland's books, her Josephine trilogy is compulsive reading - and her 'Mistress of the Sun' about Louis XIV's mistress Louise de Valliere is great too. I can't wait to see what she does next I've got Desiree on my TBR pile but haven't got round to it yet.[/quote]
She periodically mentions her upcoming novel (for now The Next Novel) on her blog and her progress on it.
