Die Schatten von Race Point

The coastal town feels almost like a character itself, adding layers to the story. I wonder if the author has a personal connection to that area or chose it for its symbolic resonance.

Some chapters felt reflective rather than plot-driven, which made me think about how important that balance is in literary fiction. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The nuanced handling of loss felt very authentic, but I wonder if that was a conscious decision to keep the tone balanced. What do others think about the emotional impact?
