Das Haus in Paris (Pocket Book)

The contrasting locations seem to mirror the characters' emotional states and identities. I'm curious how much of that was a conscious choice by Bowen.

The gradual uncovering created a tense atmosphere, but it also made me wonder about the characters' motivations and the story's pacing.

These themes resonate so deeply, especially given the historical context. I wonder what personal or historical influences shaped this focus.
