Le comte d'Esmond

The blend of passionate love and suspense kept me hooked, but I'm curious about whether she planned this balance from the start or discovered it along the way.

The protagonists’ choices felt deeply personal yet influenced by societal pressures, which made me wonder how much was based on historical research versus creative invention.

The detailed backdrop added so much richness, but I wonder if the author drew from specific historical events or locations to shape the story.
