Des villes dans la plaine (Pocket Book)

The sparse language gives the story a haunting, almost biblical tone. I wonder if this was a conscious choice to reflect the desolate setting.

It seemed like a deliberate move to leave some questions open, but I was left pondering what really happened to the characters afterward.

The harsh environment seems to reflect their internal struggles. I'm curious whether the time period was used to heighten these themes intentionally.
