Monsieur Picasso und der Sommer der französischen Köstlichkeiten

The blend of art history and fiction felt so vivid — I wonder if there was a particular piece or event that sparked the story idea.

The way cooking and meals were woven into the story was so lush and sensory. It made me curious about how much was drawn from real recipes or traditions.

The shifts between past and present kept the story engaging but also complex. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.
