Les Innocents et les Autres

The novel intertwines characters' creative pursuits with their inner lives so seamlessly. I wonder what inspired this focus and how it evolved during writing.

The contrasting perspectives between characters felt very authentic, but also made me think about my own family. How do others interpret these relationships?

The emphasis on artistic expression added a layered depth to the characters' journeys. I'm curious whether the author has a background in film or art that influenced this.
