Manchu Palaces (Abridged)

by Jeanne Larson Narrated by Susan Clark

Overview

This rich and nuanced portrait of eighteenth-century China follows a Chinese girl' s path to enlightenment. At the midpoint of the Manchus' long sway over the largest empire in China's history, a young girl stands reluctantly on the brink of womanhood. Lotus, the Empress Dowager's servant, decides to follow a spiritual path through the Forbidden City. She travels down routes of erotic fancy in search of a place called Mandala, where life's troubles are left behind.
