Fact vs. Fiction
These stories sit at the meeting point of recorded history and imaginative interpretation. This page explains where the line is drawn between fact and invention, and why certain historical details are altered, compressed, or reimagined for narrative purposes.
Where changes are made, they are intentional rather than accidental. The aim is not to mislead, but to serve the story while remaining faithful to the broader truth of the period, its people, and its lived experience.
