L'ufficiale dei matrimoni

The backdrop of WWII Malta adds a unique flavor to the romance and duty conflicts. I'm curious whether the author was drawn to its history or personal connections.

His internal struggle felt very real, but also painfully relatable. How did others interpret his choices between obligation and love?

Food plays a significant role in setting tone and culture here. I'm wondering if it was based on personal experience or research to evoke that era.
