It is set in an Alternate History, where monotheism was a brief historical anomaly, but there are just enough hints of things being awry that we can suspect it is indeed our world, altered. As when Rachel sees a statue of a human with bird wings and is baffled by what it could represent -- obviously not a fairy, since the wings are not butterfly ones.
