La pelle del tamburo

The way the church’s secrets were woven into the mystery made me wonder how much power they truly hold. Did others find the religious setting more oppressive or revealing?

The vivid descriptions made the city feel alive and almost like a character itself. I’m curious whether the setting was chosen for its history, atmosphere, or personal significance.

Some sections slowed down to focus on dialogue and reflection, which added depth but also made me wonder if that was a conscious decision to enhance tension.
