La villa della lavanda

The historical backdrop adds so much depth to the characters' journeys. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this setting from the start or found it during research.

The characters' struggles felt very real, but I was surprised by how intense some of the turning points were. Did others find the emotional tension too much or just right?

The story weaves romance seamlessly with historical events, but I wonder how much research went into the period details and how that influenced the romantic plotlines.
