Joseph gives Sancho a strong, charming voice. When the blurb compares this work to Bridgerton, it's worth pointing out this comparison applies more to the television series than to the book. London here multi-dimensional and rich, but it never comes across as diversity being shoehorned into a story. As far as Sancho himself is concerned, when primary sources are lacking, authors sometimes seem to hold back their imagination and write cautiously, with so much ambiguity that the individual behind the history doesn't feel real or present. Here Joseph delivers on interpretation and creativity. Maybe we won't know how much is true or false, but we do have someone brought to LIFE, and I appreciate that.
