    I highly recommend this new book about courtyard houses; it's a breath of fresh air in the genre! Absolutely not mindless! The foreshadowing and comebacks are incredibly sophisticated! You won't even notice them if you don't have a brain! It's free of malice, cowardice, overly sentimentalism, and extreme convoluted plots—just pure, satisfying reading. The inventions and historical context are absolutely realistic and stand up to scrutiny. The characters are vividly portrayed without any deliberate distortion or slander! It's very down-to-earth! A rare gem! It might seem a bit timid on the surface, but the comebacks are brutally honest! It incorporates many inside jokes, original scenes, and even poems and songs written by the author—it's fantastic!
