The Confusion of Languages

The way language shapes relationships in the novel is so nuanced. I wonder what inspired the choice to explore these cultural clashes through dialogue.

The story felt like it was building emotionally, but I found myself wishing for more momentum in the middle sections. What do others think about this?

The environment felt almost like a character itself, emphasizing the theme of language barriers. I'm curious whether the setting was based on real places or purely fictional.
