Il piatto della bilancia

The setting feels so authentic and immersive, making me wonder whether she built the story around history or vice versa. Did she do extensive research beforehand?

The characters often walk a fine line between right and wrong, which made me question what justice really means in a moral gray area. How do others interpret their decisions?

I appreciated how the tension simmered without rushing, but I wonder if the pacing was planned to mirror the slow weight of justice in Victorian society.
