Where I heard about it
- Replies to @moseskagan — named in the replies when he asked on X “What historical fiction should I read next? (Bonus points for something involving building or trade, rather than violence)”, April 2025. I already read Steinbeck heavily, and this is one of the few early novels not yet on my shelf. Full list: What historical fiction should I… (tweet).
