Imperial Masquerade: The Legend of Princess Der Ling has been described by author Diana Preston as "an intriguing, insightful portrait of a woman born at the boundary between two cultures who, in her restless yearning for celebrity crossed and recrossed another boundary -that in between reality and fantasy- in an extraordinary life that took her from the Forbidden City of Beijing to the pleasure palaces of America's Jazz Age."
