Winter in Madrid

The cold, bleak winter atmosphere adds a layer of tension and atmosphere. I wonder if the season was chosen to reflect the characters' internal struggles or the historical context.

Many characters operate in shades of grey, which made me question who to trust. Did this complexity enhance the realism or make it more challenging to connect?

The backdrop of post-Civil War Madrid is fascinating and somewhat less explored in fiction. I'm curious whether real events influenced the plot or characters.
