La città dell'estate

The lyrical style gave the story a unique, immersive quality. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.

The book seems to suggest that stories and memories keep us alive in a world gone silent. How did others interpret this idea's role in the narrative?

The backdrop of a broken world makes their hopes and dreams feel more poignant. Did anyone else find this contrast made the story more impactful?
