«La dernière impératrice» is the historical novel by Isaure de Saint Pierre, published by Albin Michel in paperback (411 pages, in French).
The novel follows Petite Orchidée, a sixteen-year-old girl chosen for the imperial court of the Forbidden City, and her rise to become Empress Cixi. In nineteenth-century China, convulsed by revolts and Western pressure, it blends political intrigue, power and ambition, and offers a portrait of Cixi far from the black legend spread by official history.
Originally published in 2005, the work includes bibliographical references.
Recommended for readers of historical fiction interested in imperial China and female figures of power.
