It was, at times, painful and challenging to write because of the memories it conjured up.Writing: Jennifer Nielsen's writing worked well for this book. She writes in such a way that the story doesn't get bogged down with lots of description, but she also uses enough description so that things make sense.

Also in 1920, The New York Times published an article on The Rescue, in which the 20-year delay from beginning to end of the novel is discussed.
