Lorsque refleuriront les pêchers

The historical backdrop adds so much depth, but I'm curious whether the author had a specific event or source that sparked the idea to set this romance during that time.

It felt like more than just a plot device — the emotional stakes seemed real. Did others find the characters' motivations convincing or unexpected?

There were moments that felt vividly authentic, but also some creative liberties. I wonder how the author navigated those choices to keep readers engaged.
