Margaret Drabble is a fine novelist and the Red Queen carries on this tradition. The book is divided into two distinct parts of one story, each part told in completly different styles and feelings and yet they meld comfortably. There is terror and palace intrigue in the story of the Korean princess of 200 years ago, humor and understanding in the story of the modern day professor. I found it written quite convincingly, often had to remind myself that is was fiction.
