Island of the Red Mangroves

The narrative spans decades and characters, which kept me hooked but also made me curious about whether this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The descriptions of the landscape and historical details felt so immersive. I wonder how much research went into creating this authentic atmosphere.

These themes gave the story a sense of weight and interconnectedness. I'm curious what the author wanted readers to take away about the importance of roots and choices.
