Au-dessus des lois

This book dives into intense themes of trauma and redemption. I'm curious how the author decided where to draw the line in depicting such pain while still offering a sense of hope.

The characters' histories are so dark that it made me wonder how much of their behavior was shaped by their trauma versus personal choice. How do others reconcile this empathy?

The atmosphere and details felt very authentic and gritty. I wonder what led to the decision to set the story in this particular environment and how much research went into it.
