Avant de le laisser partir

The story feels raw but also has tender, uplifting scenes. I'm curious how the author approached blending these tones seamlessly.

Those parts provided important background, but I found myself wanting to move forward. Did others feel the same or see it as necessary for the story?

The setting felt vivid and lived-in, which added layers to the characters’ struggles. Wondering if the author drew from personal experience or imagination.
