«La Vallée des roses» is the historical novel by Lucien Bodard, published by France Loisirs in hardback (412 pages, in French).
The novel follows Yi, a young woman of imperial China who harbours an excessive ambition: to become the emperor's wife and reign over the Empire. Her rise takes her between the imperial harem, the eunuchs of the Peking court and the struggles for the throne, while foreign powers threaten the city gates.
The work was published in 1978 as a co-edition by Grasset and France Loisirs.
For readers of historical fiction and stories of ambition and power set in the imperial court.
Lucien Bodard was a Chinese-born French reporter, and writer on events in East and Southeast Asia, such as the Indochinese nations becoming independent from France, and the Vietnam War.
