Quando cadrà la pioggia tornerò

The shifting timelines give the story a reflective, almost dreamlike quality. I'm curious whether this structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The book's melancholic tone really stayed with me. Was that the author's intention, or did it emerge naturally from the story?

The blend of realism and fantasy added a layer of mystique. I wonder what inspired that integration and how it enhances the themes.
