Quand j'avais dix ans

The way the story immerses readers in the protagonist's past feels so visceral. I wonder what inspired the vivid portrayal of childhood trauma and fear?

The tension between childhood naivety and dark realities made me question what’s truly safe or dangerous in our memories. Was that a deliberate theme?

Seeing events through that age’s lens added a layer of vulnerability and suspense. I’m curious whether this perspective was based on personal experience or pure fiction.
