Un ardiente y largo verano

Music plays such a big role in setting the mood and developing characters here. I wonder if that was a conscious choice to reflect their personalities or a natural extension of the setting.

The story felt relaxed in the middle, which gave time for character growth, but I was curious if that was planned or just how it unfolded during writing.

The warm, carefree atmosphere really drew me in, and I’m curious whether the author based it on a personal experience or a particular place that inspired her.
