Pemberley to Waterloo

Blending romance with real history can be tricky—what inspired the choice to set the story during such a tumultuous time and how did that shape the characters' journeys?

The social customs and manners felt so vivid—I wonder how much research went into capturing that era's nuances?

Sometimes the romance took center stage, but I loved the moments where history felt just as alive. Did anyone else find that balance satisfying or distracting?
