Under a Gilded Sky

The setting feels so vivid and atmospheric—I'm curious what drew Imogen Martin to this particular time period and how much research went into creating that world.

The emotional depth made me root for the characters, but I also sensed a lingering sense of loss. How did others interpret the balance between hope and tragedy?

The nuanced depiction of class and society added layers to the story. I wonder if that was a deliberate choice to make the characters' struggles more authentic.
