A Matter of Class

Balogh manages to capture the social tensions vividly within the novella's limited space. I wonder what inspired the choice to focus on class in this way and how much was based on historical research.

The characters' struggles with societal norms made me root for them even more. I'm curious if others felt the tension between duty and desire was realistic for the period.

The detailed backdrop added richness to the romance. I wonder if the author drew from personal research or a specific historical figure to craft this world.
