The House of Impossible Loves

The way the characters' lives intertwine across time was beautiful but also made me wonder how much was planned from the start. Did the author intend these connections from the beginning or evolve them as the story progressed?

The setting adds so much depth and magic to the story. I’m curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it entirely from imagination.

The mix of real history and fantasy elements felt seamless. I wonder what inspired that approach and whether it was a conscious choice to evoke certain emotions.
