Note to the reader
Although this novel is based on authentic historical events, periods, and contexts, it is a work of fiction. Certain events, characters, and dialogue have been reproduced or modified with narrative purposes. Similarly, some names, places and circumstances have been altered or created by the author to provide coherence and richness to the narrative.
This work does not claim to offer a faithful reconstruction of the facts or to accurately represent real people. Any resemblance to living or deceased individuals is, in that sense, circumstantial.
Thank you for immersing yourself in this journey to the past through fiction.
With appreciation,
Dagmar Rousey
