Des Königs General

The setting feels so immersive and moody, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the Gothic tone was planned from the start or developed during writing.

Her loyalty and love are so intense, but some decisions made me uneasy. Did others see her actions as brave or tragic?

The historical context is vivid and compelling. I'm wondering if du Maurier had a particular source or event that sparked her interest in this period.
