Dornrose: Die Geschichte meiner Großmutter

The way the story merges fantasy and history feels so seamless. I'm curious what inspired her to weave these elements together and how much research went into it.

The contrast between the whimsical and the tragic really heightened the emotional weight. I wonder if this duality was intentional to evoke a deeper response.

The way the story handles difficult topics through allegory is powerful but also complex. Did it help make the themes more accessible or did it feel like it softened the pain?
