Miss Newbury's List

The way characters navigated societal expectations added depth, but I wondered how much was drawn from real history versus fiction. Did anyone else feel immersed in that world?

The list added a unique structure to the story and drove character development. I'm curious whether this was based on a historical practice or an original idea.

The romance felt natural without overshadowing the period details, but I wonder how the balance was achieved in the writing process.
