Glanz der Freiheit

The city’s rich past adds so much depth to the romance — I wonder what led to choosing New York as the central setting and how much of its history was woven into the plot.

The revelations felt really intimate, but I was also surprised by how much they resonated on a personal level. Am I the only one who found parts of this story hitting close to home?

The historical context felt seamless and immersive without overshadowing the characters’ relationships. I’m curious whether this was a deliberate choice or evolved naturally during writing.
