Blurb (from back cover): "On the cusp of a trip to Korea, Barbara Halliwell receives an unexpected package with no return address. Inside she finds a centuries-old memoir by a Korean crown princess that details the mysteries of the Korean court as well as the dramas that left the princess childless and her husband dead by his own hand. In Seoul, the intriguing Dr. Oo takes Barbara through the courts themselves, an experience that leaves her as enchanted by him as by the mysterious life of the princess. She returns to England spellbound, wondering whether her life can ever return to normal-whether she truly wants it to."
Opinion: The beginning started off slowly then kinda picked up. Do I feel better now that I read this? Not really. Do I feel that it's worthy of being one of the 1001? Maybe-it was good writing.
