Der Sommer, in dem es zu schneien begann (Perfect Paperback)

The dual timelines added layers of suspense, but I wonder if that structure was planned from the start or developed during writing. It kept me guessing.

The characters’ trust issues made the story tense, but I also felt a weight of confinement. How did the author create such an intense atmosphere?

The rugged landscape added to the story’s mood. I'm curious whether the setting was inspired by real places or imagined for its atmosphere.
