The princess has taken complete control over Dr. Babs Halliwell, both physically and mentally. Dr. Halliwell has transformed into a completely different person, losing her identity.
A young girl, chosen from obscurity, is destined to wed the Crown Prince of Korea. In her personal diaries, she documents the intriguing courtly life and her extraordinary journey.
Two hundred years later, the ghost of the Red Queen haunts Dr. Babs Halliwell, an Oxford academic consumed by her memoirs and deeply intertwined with her own complex past. However, the question remains: why and how does Dr. Halliwell persist in keeping the Red Queen's story alive?
In her captivating historical novel, Margaret Drabble delves into a realm where the dead roam among the living, seeking answers to the profound question of what it means to be remembered. The inimitable style of Drabble brings forth a rich and atmospheric narrative, immersing readers in a world where history and fiction intertwine, leaving a lasting impact.
