Struggling with the story-within-a-story. Feels like as soon as we get momentum with the romance of our 2 leads, we then cut to a massive info dump about Margaret’s fam tree. And these info dumps are huge slogs— no momentum/ tension/ rising action as Margaret’s story is being told. Just feels like, why am I reading about the genealogy of this fam for 4 generations…? Nothing interesting there
