Vénéneuses

The vivid descriptions brought the era to life, but I wonder if there was a conscious choice to balance glamour with intimacy. Did the setting influence the characters' personal struggles?

While I enjoyed the story, some moments felt familiar. I'm curious if others saw plot twists coming or if the author intentionally played with classic tropes.

Her perspective offered a unique window into the era's social dynamics, but I'm interested in what motivated the author to center her story around this particular character.
