Caveat Emptor

The setting feels so authentic and immersive, but I wonder how much research went into balancing accuracy with storytelling.

The line between right and wrong seemed blurred, which made the stakes feel so real. How do others interpret the moral dilemmas faced by the characters?

The details paint such a vivid picture of the time period. I'm curious whether Ruth Downie based this on specific sources or if it evolved during writing.
