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 the mysterious life of the princess. She returns to England spellbound, wondering whether her life can ever return to normal - and whether she wants it to. Back cover. Adult. 20190502. British Korea Fiction.
