Der Himmel über uns

The novel blends personal and national histories in a way that feels deeply intertwined. I wonder what motivated the author to connect these themes so seamlessly.

The book balances heavy themes with tender moments—did others feel this contrast added to the story's depth or was it jarring?

The landscape and history seem to play a vital role in shaping the characters. I'm curious if the author intended the setting to be almost like a character itself.
