Always a reader. Writing to remember and to share my thoughts on the books I read.
Empress Orchid
Empress Orchid by Anchee Min is the story of a girl who rises from poverty to the role of Empress Dowager of China. Told as a first person narrative, the book submerges the reader into her world.

History, biography, and all the makings of a soap opera surround Orchid and come together in an entertaining story.
