This book is heartwarming and tragic and inspiring and so, so lovely!
I've read very few historical romances featuring trans characters that delve so deeply and intimately into the nuances of queer life in that time. It was beautifully done. The author did a brilliant job of painting a complete spectrum of emotion for Christopher and James, from the claustrophobic trapped feeling to the sad sacrifices to the absolute joy of freely living as yourself.
Plot, characters, pacing, historical atmosphere -- it all works so well. Please go read this joyously queer historical romance and support trans people everywhere!
