From Anchee Min, 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 the 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.
