The Lost Diary

Using a diary as a narrative device adds an intimate touch, but I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or a later decision to deepen the mystery.

The rich WWII context immerses the reader but occasionally slowed the pacing. Was that balance intentional for atmosphere or a challenge in storytelling?

The revelations felt impactful but also carefully curated. I'm interested in how much of that was based on real history versus creative choice.
