Vif comme le désir (Pocket Book)

The blend of fantasy elements with real historical events felt seamless and evocative. I wonder what inspired the choice to intertwine these genres so closely.

The passion and longing came through so vividly—I’m curious if others felt the same intensity or if it was just me getting swept up in the story.

The setting added so much depth to the narrative, and I’d love to hear what influenced the author’s decision to focus on this region and theme.
