Backwards book rec, by asking if you've read "The Domestic Revolution: How the Introduction of Coal into Victorian Homes Changed Everything" by Ruth Goodman? It made me think of Fawn, and the ways she's cooked. I hadn't realized how different life built around wood combustion was, compared to all the things that had to be introduced as homes shifted to coal. Also touches on domestic issues in the 5 gods world

Not seen, but it sounds interesting. Closed stoves, regardless of fuel, made a huge difference in, among other things, burn injuries and mortality, back when.

Thank you, I just finished the Flowers of Vashnoi and loved it, as all the Vorkosigan books. Please carry on writing them :). Some authors spoil things when they go on and on but yours continue to delight. I loved Gentleman Jolie too. Not really a question, more a hope?

Hi Lois: I'm 100% new to this. Just published my book: Antebellum Struggles" with KDP. I don't know how my book appeared on Goodreads, but I'm glad it did. It's an "African-American historical fiction" novel on slavery and plantation drama in 1852. I've googled "How to get book reviews?" 'til I'm blue in the face. Any suggestions would be soooo appreciated. Thanks.
