Le doux parfum des oranges amères

The vivid descriptions made me curious about whether the author has personal ties to this place or if it was purely fictional. It added such richness to the story.

I appreciated how the characters' flaws and strengths were both explored deeply. It made their journeys feel authentic and relatable.

Some sections lingered on family history or internal reflection — was that to give space for the characters’ growth, or just a storytelling style?
