Les infortunes d'Alice

The eerie Victorian atmosphere really immerses the reader in the story’s mood. I wonder how much of the setting was inspired by real places or personal experiences.

Her circumstances and decisions made me question how much control she truly had over her life. Am I the only one who felt both sympathetic and uneasy about her actions?

The mix of supernatural and societal commentary created a unique tension. I wonder what motivated this particular thematic combination.
