Emilia und der Junge aus dem Meer

The setting feels so unique and atmospheric—I'm curious whether it was inspired by real places or purely imagined. Did the author have a particular lighthouse in mind?

Her courage and curiosity really resonated with me, but I wonder if others found her growth as inspiring as I did or if it hit differently for different readers.

Sometimes the story felt light and fun, but other times it was quite touching. I’m curious if the author intended this mix to reflect real childhood experiences.
