Mother of Pearl

The narrative shifts between different timelines, and I wonder what inspired that structure. Did it come naturally or was it a deliberate choice to emphasize certain themes?

Her resilience is inspiring, but her hardships felt so raw sometimes that I wondered if that was the author's intention to evoke empathy or challenge comfort zones.

The relationships are complex and layered — I’m curious which aspects resonate most deeply with others and what they think the author was trying to say about kinship.
