Tote Vögel singen nicht

The Victorian era comes alive in the story, but I'm curious whether the author did specific research or let the setting evolve naturally during writing.

The characters' personal dilemmas added so much depth, but I wondered if others found certain moments particularly impactful or relatable.

The balance between setting and plot felt natural, but I'm curious about the writing process behind integrating these elements without overshadowing each other.
