The author's novel The Red Queen (2004) was inspired by a collection of court memoirs written in Korea more than two centuries ago. Its unnamed author, Crown Princess Sado (1735-1815), wife of the son of the Yi Dynasty king, was posthumously called the Red Queen.
His real name is unknown to history.
The novel is woven into two stories and features two main characters – an 18th-century Korean crown princess and a 20th-century English female scholar interested in Korean history, whose lives and fates are strangely intertwined.
