A la claire rivière

The alternating timelines added so much depth, but I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing. Did it help shape the story's emotional impact?

The setting and mood really drew me into a world of secrets and longing. I wonder if the author drew inspiration from specific Gothic classics or personal experiences.

Music seems to be a bridge between the past and present, but I'm curious how intentional this symbolism was in shaping character development and the story's themes.
