Il 16 ottobre 1815 Napoleone Bonaparte giunse a Sant'Elena, dove avrebbe trascorso in esilio gli ultimi anni della sua vita. La sconfitta di Waterloo e il congresso di Vienna avevano decretato la restaurazione del vecchio ordine europeo. In attesa di insediarsi a Longwood, nella dimora assegnatagli dagli inglesi, l'imperatore fu ospitato nella residenza di William Balcombe, soprintendente dell'East India Company. Nessuno poteva immaginare che Betsy, la figlia quattordicenne di Balcombe, ritrovatasi a vivere a stretto contatto con il celebre prigioniero, sarebbe diventata la sua insostituibile amica e confidente. Questo libro di memorie, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1844, è il resoconto fedele di un'amicizia insolita, attraverso il quale la figura di Napoleone viene restituita al lettore nella sua dimensione più privata e umana. Betsy racconta il "suo" Napoleone, visto da vicino in una dimensione privata e quotidiana, circondato da generali gelosi uno dell'altro, da dame litigiose e servitori fedelissimi, tutti consapevoli di recitare un dramma cui fa da sfondo sempre vivo la grande storia.
