Reservoir 13

The book unfolds gradually, with each chapter representing a different year in the village's life. I wonder what inspired this slow, layered approach and how it affected the storytelling.

The details about the villagers' routines made the setting feel alive, but I’m curious if that was intentional or a happy accident during writing.

Loss, community, and the passage of time seem central, but I’d love to hear what others picked up on or felt was most emphasized.
