La Lettre à Helga

The epistolary format makes the emotions feel intimate and real, but I wonder what inspired the choice to tell it through letters rather than a traditional narrative.

The way the characters grapple with their pasts felt very authentic, but I’m curious if others found it brought up personal memories or feelings.

The setting feels so vivid and rooted in its environment—I'm wondering if the author drew from particular Icelandic history or folklore when crafting the backdrop.
