Les Lumières de Cape Cod

The historical backdrop adds so much depth to the characters' struggles. I wonder what prompted the author to focus on this particular period and how it shaped the story's themes.

Their personal growth and revelations felt so genuine, but also a bit heartbreaking at times. Did readers find themselves rooting for certain characters more than others?

The shifts between past and present were seamless but kept me on my toes. I'm curious about the writing process behind balancing those layers.
