The Red Queen blends historical and contemporary narratives in a unique and thought-provoking structure. The novel follows the ghost of a Korean crown princess from the 18th century as she tells her story across time to Dr. Barbara Halliwell, a modern British academic traveling to Seoul. What begins as a surreal haunting evolves into a reflection on female autonomy, cultural dislocation, and the power of legacy. Drabble’s prose moves elegantly between tragedy and comedy, examining the clash between East and West, past and present. A transcultural meditation on identity, fate, and freedom, this novel is rich in philosophical undertones and historical insight.
