La poudre et la cendre

Understanding the historical motivation behind the story could shed light on its emotional depth. I wonder if personal history or research drove this choice.

The romance adds a tender layer to the harsh realities, but I found myself questioning how characters balance love and survival in such brutal times.

The characters' loyalties seemed nuanced and sometimes conflicted, which made the story feel very real. I'm curious about the research or experiences that influenced this portrayal.
