[578] The Alexandrovni - Prologue

Hi all!

This is the prologue/in-universe introduction of a novel that I one day hope to publish (don't we all lmao). The premise is that the wife of a very well-known and recently deceased autobiographer has been approached to write down her own version of what happened, but in doing so reveals that his work was largely false. Her book covers the true story.

I've recently finished the second draft and am now looking for any and all critique; starting at the beginning because that's a very good place to start.
