Wow, thank you! (But I am completely open to constructive criticism, too.) And for what it's worth, I think you write evocatively and with great pathos. I wish I could do that :-)
Thank you, I appreciate that very much. (and the advice, too :-) Sometimes I wish I could write more like those whose style I admire, but I know it would never end up sounding like me. There's probably a reason I can't write that way and it feels unnatural... because for me, it is.
I am late to the party but oh, this is good!
Thank you for reading, Leanne! I'm so glad you're enjoying it :-)
I like the way that this story is written. It’s dynamic and the characters are very believable! Bravo!
Thank you for reading and for your generous comment!
There's a gravitas to this that is hard to go past.
Thank you for reading and for your comment!
Is the gravitas a good thing or a bad thing...? Do you feel it stops the momentum of the story?
Not at all. It just lends a weight to its validity. It's the kind of writing I would like to do but can't.

Thank you also.
Your style perfectly fits your stories and their historical context. Honestly.
