The Courtesan

The character’s voice feels so authentic and nuanced. I wonder what inspired the choice to tell the story from her point of view and how much was based on historical research.

The story weaves personal and political stakes seamlessly, but I’m curious if others found the balance worked for them or if it felt overwhelming at times.

The rich historical details and societal norms really brought the setting to life. I wonder if the author drew from specific events or figures from that era.
