La Volpe dorata

The rich historical backdrop really stood out to me, but I wonder how much research went into balancing accuracy with storytelling. Did the author have a specific approach to integrating real events?

Their personal journeys felt so authentic and resonant, but I was curious if others found certain characters particularly relatable or inspiring.

The vivid descriptions made the landscape come alive. I'm interested to know whether Wilbur Smith drew from specific places or crafted a fictionalized version of Africa.
