One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn

Pretty much exactly this.

Its very obviously wonderfully researched, by someone with a genuine love for the subject matter and an appreciation for it. Kuang clearly loves Oxford. There have been a few plot seeds that I think will be interesting and I'm curious to see how/if they pay off later in the novel.
