The Last Empress

by Aimee

**** [3/5]

This was a fairly good book. It tells the story of the last empress of China, but more interestingly it tells the story of China during the Boxer rebellion. The narrative is informative but told from the perspective of the Empress which holds the reader's interest. I am not an expert on the history, but the story seemed to break from some of the traditional perceptions of the Empress. Very interesting book.
