I didn't vote. I just want to get this out there because in anther thread, where I justifyied big publisher prices as needed to fund research for books such as this, my liking for Chinese history wasn't overly popular.

I do notice than the Kindle US price is about 2 1/2 times that in the UK.

Getting to the actual book I am starting to re-read, some of it you may have to take on faith in Jung Chang (not spiritual faith, just faith than she is reasonably using sources). Is it really certain that Cixi (or whatever her real/original name was) loved her Ministry of Punishments father? I just accept it as plausible and proceed.
