El hombre de Calcuta

The setting feels so authentic, but I wonder if some details were adapted for narrative pacing. What do you think was the most challenging part of recreating that era?

He’s caught between duty and personal ethics, which made me question what I’d do in his place. How did others interpret his actions and motivations?

The setting adds so much depth and tension, but I’m curious whether the author had a specific reason for choosing this period and location.
