Die schöne Fremde

The blend of intrigue and passion kept me hooked, but I wonder if the pacing was intentionally paced to prioritize one over the other or if it evolved during writing.

The social dynamics felt so vivid and nuanced; I’m curious whether Catherine Coulter based these on personal research or real history.

The setting adds so much flavor to the characters’ motivations and conflicts. I wonder what led to the decision to focus on this era.
