La Lettre d'amour interdite

The plot feels rich with hidden truths and layered relationships. I'm curious whether the author drew from real history or crafted it entirely from imagination.

It seemed like the story took a bit of a breather before the climax. Was that intentional to build suspense or just how the story evolved?

The romance added depth but also shifted focus at times. I'm wondering if the blend was planned from the start or developed during writing.
