Jusqu'ici, tout va bien

The historical backdrop adds so much context, but I wonder how much the author aimed to highlight the social issues of that time through the story.

The way the protagonist navigates his relationships felt so authentic — I was curious whether others saw these as universal struggles or unique to his world.

The role of art in the book felt so meaningful, almost like a character itself. I'm wondering if this was based on personal experiences or a specific message the author wanted to convey.
