L'échappée belle

I'm curious whether the author drew from specific historical events or personal interests to craft this backdrop, and how it influences the characters' choices.

Her choices felt both brave and sometimes risky, making me wonder how much of her inner conflict was based on real emotional struggles versus storytelling needs.

The detailed portrayal of societal constraints made the romance feel more genuine, but I'm curious if this was a conscious effort to highlight class differences or a natural part of the story.
