El festín de Babette

The small village atmosphere feels so integral to the story's message about community and tradition. I'm curious if the author drew from real places or created this world from imagination.

Her willingness to spend everything for a simple meal really made me reflect on the nature of gratitude and giving. Would love to hear if others felt the same emotional impact.

It’s such a rich symbolic moment that carries so much meaning. Wonder if this idea was inspired by a personal experience or a particular cultural tradition.
