Arrived safely today in exchange for some Gabriel Garcia Marquez books. Thanks, buejazzyfish and Happy Easter!
Intriguing tale of Orchid, who enters the Forbidden City as a concubine of Emperor Hsien Feng and eventually becomes the last empress of China. It's based on real history and real people and written in the first person, which somehow seemed a bit wrong to me. I guess I found it a bit lacking in emotion.
But amazing to hear about all the riches being paraded around the country whilst it as being threatened by foreigners on all sides.
