Sir Philip's Folly

The Victorian-era social customs and wit feel so vivid—did the author have personal ties to this time or do extensive research?

The witty banter and lighthearted misadventures made the story so engaging, but I wondered if the humor was intentional to offset the conflicts.

It felt like class played a big role in their misunderstandings and motivations—did the author aim to critique or simply depict that era's social norms?
