Gefundenes Mädchen

I'm curious how the author approached crafting the suspense and emotional depth within this particular scenario. Did real events influence this choice?

The story's intensity kept me hooked, but I also felt a lot of weight from the characters' experiences. Was that intentional or just how the narrative naturally unfolded?

The pacing felt tight, but I was always guessing. I'm interested in whether the plot twists were planned from the start or evolved during writing.
