Traum aus Stein und Federn

The historical backdrop adds so much depth and tragedy to the characters' lives. I'm curious whether the author had a specific event or period in mind that shaped this setting.

Religious beliefs seemed to influence both personal decisions and community dynamics. How do readers interpret the way faith impacted the characters' paths?

It kept me engaged but also made me think about how the author decided to balance multiple perspectives. Was this approach developed during writing or mapped out early on?
