The story of the infamous last empress of China, by the author of the best-selling Becoming Madame Mao It is the final days of the Chinese empire. Trade in opium with Europe is slowly corroding the power of the Ch'ing Dynasty. Orchid, a beautiful seventeen-year-old from an aristocratic but impoverished family, is pushed into the maelstrom when she finds herself unexpectedly chosen to become a low-ranking concubine of the emperor. "The Empress Orchid is the story of a fascinating, strong-willed woman who for generations has been vilified as a grand seductress and murder.
