The New York Times bestselling account of Tzu Hsi, the concubine who became China's last empress, from the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Good Earth.
Tzu Hsi ascended from concubine rank to become the working head of the Qing Dynasty, and Pearl S. Buck brings her narrative to life in Imperial Woman. Tzu Hsi, a poor girl, falls in love with her cousin Jung Lu, a gorgeous guard, but she is chosen, along with her sister and hundreds of other girls, to be sent to the Forbidden City while still a teenager. She's already distinguished by her beauty, but she's determined to be the emperor's favourite, and she puts all of her talent and guile into it.
