The Girl in the Painting

The Australian historical backdrop adds so much depth to the story. I'm curious if the author drew from personal history or specific research to craft this world.

The way the characters grapple with their sense of self felt very real and moving. I wonder how much of that was influenced by the author's own experiences or observations.

The dual timelines kept me guessing and added layers to the story. I'm interested in whether this structure was planned from the beginning or evolved as the story developed.
