Dear Readers,If you love historical romance and historical fiction, then I am utterly thrilled to tell you that Netflix’s The Empress is a TV Show truly worthy of your attention.
The lush court drama has all the makings of a perfect romance: a pretty and funny protagonist, a serious Emperor, gorgeous clothes, and beautiful palaces
It also has the dark intrigue of Court Life and the contrasts that exist between the Royal Court we all love to read about and the hard lives of the peasants who work to serve them.
I have loved Sisi, Empress of Austria, since I read The Royal Diaries: Elisabeth of Austria as a young child. When I saw the trailer for the show, I was thrilled, and it does not disappoint!
When rebellious Elisabeth (“Sisi”) meets Franz, the young Emperor of Austria, it’s love at first sight. But their ecstatic and impetuous relationship causes chaos in the dynasty and upsets the balance of power.
