I’ve read it because of a passing interest in William Lawes, a somewhat enigmatic cavalier composer (his music is well studied but we don’t know much about his life).
It’s a weird book that reads like a very long fanfiction where the male lead gets to know Lawes (in a convoluted time travel segment), to help him solve his boring marital problems and early middle age crisis. Almost like in a, may god forgive me for even uttering these words, isekai.
Definitely not my cup of tea.
