La liste des prétendants (Romans Eyrolles)

The cultural details add richness to the story, and I'm curious whether the setting shaped the story’s themes or if it evolved organically during writing.

The mix of comedy and heart was great, but I wondered if that was intentional or just how the story naturally unfolded for the author.

It kept the pacing steady and gave a well-rounded view of her journey, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or developed during drafting.
