“This is the first Pearl S. Buck novel I ever read, and I've loved her books ever since. Still, "Imperial Woman" is my favorite - even better than her masterpiece "The Good Earth." Buck gives a wonderful insight into Chinese culture and tells the fictionalized story of a real historical figure, Tzu-Hzi (also known as Empress Dowager Cixi).”
