From a master of the historical novel, Empress Orchid sweeps
readers into the heart of the Forbidden City to tell the
fascinating story of a young concubine who becomes China's last
empress. Min introduces the beautiful Tzu Hsi, known as Orchid, and
weaves an epic of a country girl who seized power through
seduction, murder, and endless intrigue. When China is threatened
by enemies, she alone seems capable of holding the country
together.
In this "absorbing companion piece to her novel Becoming Madame
Mao" (New York Times), readers and reading groups will once again
be transported by Min's lavish evocation of the Forbidden City in
its last days of imperial glory and by her brilliant portrait of a
flawed yet utterly compelling woman who survived, and ultimately
dominated, a male world.
