I don't know that the "historical note" at the start is a good idea. This hasn't been marketed to actual history buffs / readers, but the note gives the impression that's what to expect. I had to come back to goodreads and check the blurb & novel comparisons, out of fear I'd accidentally requested an arc for something I was going to really struggle with.

I'm shocked that swapping between 2nd and 3rd perspectives works so well. This is beautifully written, a touch of age and a touch of fantasy make this feel like a lyrical fairy tale, suffused with yearning. Not just romantic yearning either, but yearning for your childhood dream now in reach, yearning to not be sick, basically the yearning for the fairy tale 'happily ever after' you know reality won't let you have.
