The blend of Chinese and Dutch perspectives adds depth, but I wonder what inspired this particular cultural intersection and how it shaped the narrative.

The depiction of family rituals felt so authentic and heartfelt. I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or extensive research.

The multi-generational approach made the themes of identity and memory more impactful, but I wonder if that structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
