Un homme, un vrai

The setting feels so vivid and specific — I wonder if the city itself was a character from the start or if the author built it around real places and events.

While the characters are fascinating, I found myself wanting more momentum. Was this deliberate to develop themes or just a natural part of the story?

The multiple viewpoints offered such a rich view of Atlanta's society, but I’m curious about the process behind choosing whose stories to tell and when.
