Das verbotene Wort

The narrative seamlessly switches between past and present, which kept me guessing about how everything connected. I wonder what inspired this storytelling choice.

I found myself really rooting for the characters, but some moments made me tear up unexpectedly. What parts resonated most with others?

I love when authors plant little hints along the way, but I couldn't tell if the ending was foreshadowed or a twist. Curious about others' experiences.
