Флоренс и Джайлс

The moody setting and tense family secrets really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on personal experiences or classic Gothic novels.

Her decisions seemed driven by a mix of innocence and desperation. I’m curious whether readers saw her as truly sympathetic or more flawed.

The blend of history and fantasy felt seamless, but I wonder what led to the decision to combine these themes in this way.
