Les demoiselles de Swan Park (Tome 3) - L'homme qui refusait d'aimer

The slow burn and eventual sparks felt so genuine. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or something that evolved during writing.

The dialogue made me laugh but I wonder if the pacing balanced the romantic tension well throughout the story.

The historical details felt so immersive and vivid. I'm curious whether the setting was driven by personal interest or research findings.
