So we’re just…doing valets for a bit I see. Insert that Calvin and Hobbes “I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul” quote here.
This is very different in tone than Alexander’s book; the stakes are different and also the sense of what is possible and worth losing is very different. It makes the book feel much more somber and as if it’s aiming for realism rather than verisimilitude (I swear they mean different things at least in my head).
More historical but no less romance.
