Longtemps j'ai rêvé de toi

The balance between humor and heartfelt moments can be tricky in historical settings. I'm curious about the creative choices behind maintaining that tone throughout the story.

The social customs felt vividly detailed yet also humorously exaggerated at times. Did this reflect Mallory's personal research or a deliberate stylistic choice?

Their exchanges felt fresh and charming, adding so much to the romance. I wonder if the author envisioned this tone from the start or if it developed during writing.
