September’s father has gone to war, and her mother is working; these family changes form part of her situation. The Marquess’s threat to make life impossible for Fairyland’s inhabitants adds a note of peril.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
