Une lady en haillons (Pocket Book)

The rich details of the era really brought the story to life. I'm curious whether the author did extensive research or drew from personal history to craft this world.

The pacing felt gentle and deliberate, but I wondered if others found it too slow or if it made the emotional payoff more meaningful.

The relationships within the family added so much depth to the story. I'm interested in how much of that was planned versus developed organically.
