Les Yeux dans les arbres

The family dynamics felt so raw and nuanced—I'm curious whether these were inspired by real stories or entirely fictional. How did the author approach balancing each character's perspective?

The novel explores deep conflicts around religion and cultural differences. I found myself sympathizing with some characters but also questioning their choices—was that intentional?

The sense of place is so immersive and detailed. I'm wondering whether the author visited Africa during the writing process or relied on research to craft such an authentic setting.
