Dunkel wie die Flut

The setting feels so vivid and inviting—I'm curious if the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination. How does the location influence the story's emotional tone?

The themes of healing and finding oneself are powerful, but I wonder how much of that is drawn from personal experiences or observations.

The structure kept me engaged, but I’m curious whether that storytelling approach was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
