Napoleon’s Last Island is a Historical Fiction Novel centred on Napoleon’s last years when he was exiled to St Helena Island in the South Atlantic. Historical fictions are difficult novels in the sense they draw on a historical record that is biased from the start. Historical records about Napoleon written from a French point of view differ markedly from those of a British point of view. This novel is written by an Irish Australian, like myself, so there is likely to be an anti-British bias by the author.The novel’s main interest is the characters of Napoleon and the narrator Betsy the teenage rebellious daughter of the supplier of goods to Napoleon’s party. Napoleon comes across as someone with a personality that is broad and fluid. He is loved and admired by all that meet him from little children to otherwise boring adults. He brings a lot out of people. An example of this is when his religion is discussed. Napoleon says he is Protestant, like her, when talking to Betsy but his aides say he has shown Catholic or Moslem sympathies when talking to others.To add to the, admitted flawed, major historical record a credible series of events and bit characters is also difficult. Keneally was generally successful but some incidents especially the orgy or charades near the end of the book stretched credibility a step too far for me.I appreciated Keneally’s description of the island to the extent I almost thought I was there at times. His descriptions of events such as the Island ball were also very detailed and moving. I found however that some of the lesser characters were limited in their exposure.Concerning Sir Hudson Lowe the Duke of Wellington said (Wikipedia quote) that he was "a very bad choice; he was a man wanting in education and judgment. He was a stupid man, he knew nothing at all of the world, and like all men who knew nothing of the world, he was suspicious and jealous."
Keneally weaves fiction and fact together to relate the relationship between Betsy Malcombe and her sister and parents and the exiled Napoleon on the remote south Atlantic island of St Helena, a relationship which over the years developed in to friendship and respect. Although the narrative is at times plodding the author evokes a clear sense of Napoleon's isolation and despair caused by his fall from the highest pinnacle. The heavy handed manner with which the British governor, Hudson Lowe, enforced the emperor's confinement makes the reader wish that one of the plots to rescue Napoleon had succeeded. Because of its length and detail the book requires careful attention to the author's prolix paragraphs. In addition, Napoleon's time on St Helena is not described in a linear fashion requiring periodic returns to earlier chapters. Nevertheless when I finished the book I was pleased that I had made the effort. JCM
I am keen to learn about St Helena because we are visiting there later this year so I have been seeking out books that can inform me. I have liked other Thomas Keneally's books which focus on real historical characters and events and turns them into very readable novels, and this one did not disappoint. It is unusual in its style, being written as the journal of by a rebellious but intelligent and questioning young girl on the island who befriends the exiled Napoleon. It is a great story, amusing and detailed, almost Jane Austin-like in style with lots of insights into relationships and etiquette between residents and the military as well as with Napoleon's quite sizeable French entourage. It explores what happens when men in uniform are in power, the role of slavery, the status and influence of women, as well as the connections and links between far flung places in the British Empire. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, looking forward to each new chapter and feel to be far better informed now than I was before I read it.
Napoleon was the titanic figure of his age, a man of destiny who ushered Europe from feudalism into the modern meritocratic world. His defeat after 20 years of almost continual warfare instigated by stubborn conservative forces led by Britain with its mastery of the seas is the theme of tragedy. His imprisonment on the rock of Saint Helena for giving man freedom is compared to Prometheus’s punishment for gifting man fire.Having just published a novel on the same topic, featuring the same characters, I was looking forward to reading this book. Sadly I was disappointed. There is no drama, no romantic interest, very little insight into how Napoleon dealt with his spectacular fall, hardly a mention of how he plotted obsessively to win his release. Instead there was much more than I wanted to read about the trivialities of the everyday life lived by too many minor characters on the claustrophobic little island.The only moment this rather stuffy, dull, overlong tale comes alive is when Betsy Balcombe, the narrator, walks in on an orgy at Longwood featuring her own mother and Napoleon dressed in drag who seems to be on the point of being mounted by his physician Barry O'Meara. Of course Betsy flees in horror. Curiously this traumatic event is soon forgotten by all concerned.I was reluctant the publish this review for obvious reasons so it comes as a relief that others seem to agree with me!
An interesting approach to a complex man through the eyes of a teenager who grows, learns and celebrates with the ogre.The bumbling Brits never quite knew how to handle Napoleon, but they took away his joy, and that of the family who did appreciate him.I learned much and enjoyed the book.
