Davies also offers insights into the political and social climate of Naples during the early 19th century, including the impact of Napoleon’s rule on the city and the tensions between the ruling class and the common people.Throughout the book, Davies reflects on her own personal growth and development as she navigates the challenges of living in a foreign country and adapting to a new culture. She also provides a unique perspective on the lives of the Murat children, including their education, daily routines, and relationships with each other and their parents.Overall, Eleven Years’ Residence in the Family of Murat, King of Naples is a fascinating and insightful memoir that offers a glimpse into the life of a governess in a royal household during the early 19th century.
