L'isola dei gelsomini

The narrative weaves through various eras, which kept me engaged but also made me curious about the planning behind this. Was this a conscious choice from the start or did it evolve during writing?

Their struggles and joys seem so authentic, making the story really resonate. I wonder if the author drew from personal experiences or extensive research.

The setting feels almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the author visited these places beforehand or relied on historical sources to craft such a rich environment.
