  '...an elegant and engaging piece of alternative history, gently tragic and wryly comic...' Times literary supplement 'compelling, plausible, poignant, ironic...underlying meditation on fame, mortality, truth and history.' Canberra Times By means of an ingenious escape on an unlikely vessel, Napoleon has returned to Europe, experiencing en route bizarre adventures, not least a guided tour of the battlefield of Waterloo in the company of English tourists. Teasing, imaginative, superbly entertaining - this multi-prize winning novel has been translated by Patricia Clancy and the author who has been described by The Age as 'a teller of tales who shapes and evokes realities wherever he puts his words.'
