L'Épouse de bois

The book weaves enchanting folklore into a suspenseful narrative — was this balance something the author planned from the start or evolved naturally?

The way the landscape and flora come alive in the story is so vivid, it made me wonder about the author's personal experiences with nature or symbolism.

The setting feels almost like a character itself, rich with symbolism and mystery. I’m curious whether the region's folklore influenced this choice or if it was a personal favorite.
