Anyone read Empress Orchid by Anchee Min?
I have just finished this book and having for the most part enjoyed it, I am left very frustrated with the ending. What was all that about with An-te-hai’s overcoat? Did he leave it there for a reason? Earlier in the book Orchid said that An-te-hai was obsessed with what happened between a man and a woman and this would be his downfall, was she now going to punish him? I dont understand! Anyone else read the book?
Thanks for the answers so far.i got the impression that he left the coat there to trap them, so they would get carried away inside the tomb and get trapped, purely because of the last sentence when it said something like “Onlyone figure didnt kneel, in a fir tree robe” (so that was obviously An-te-hai so why didnt he kneel?) Anyway i have just found out there is a sequel and i have ordered it so pehaps that will give some answers!
I read the book and too enjoyed it. I personally preferred her own memoirs called Red Azalea about her time as an operatic actress in Madame Mao’s operas. I think the thing with the overcoat was that he was allowing her to have “relations” with the soldier guy on her dead husband’s grave (or so I understood it).

Get Behind Me Satan $3.89 Their fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan is the strangest and least focused effort by these unlikely garage rock superstars to date. It’s also their finest, an Exile on Main Street-ish mish-mash where the sum is greater than the parts. In a market increasingly driven by singles and downloads, it’s nice to be reminded how exciting an album can be, especially one where you really don’t know what to ex… |
