200 years after being plucked from obscurity to marry the Crown Prince of Korea, the Red Queen's ghost decides to set the record straight about her extraordinary existence - and Dr Babs Halliwell, with her own complicated past, is the perfect envoy. Why does the Red Queen pick Babs to keep her story alive, and what else does she want from her? A terrific novel set in 18th century Korea and the present day, The Red Queen is a rich and atmospheric novel about love, and what it means to be remembered
This just didn't do it for me. As evidenced by the length of time it took me to read it. Usually I can read a book in a week. This took me three weeks to read it.
The disjointed telling of the story in the first half of the novel was very difficult to follow. Past, present and future all mixed together was very confusing. The second half was better and I read this much more quickly.
I left this in a hotel in Portugal. I hope someone enjoys it more than I did.
