I literally loved this book! It was amazing and inciteful in a time period I couldn't possibly imagine living in! And I love Lady Hyegyong! She was a genuinely loving and considerate person, that dealt with an unfair number of hardships. I would totally recommend this book to anyone interested!

June He hyped this book up on her Instagram and it was so good. What a story with Prince Sado and what Lady Hyegyong had to live through.

Had to read for a class, didn’t finish it before we moved on and won’t be picking it back up.
