The First Century After Beatrice

Maulouf's choice to focus on France adds layers of cultural history and identity. I'm curious what motivated this setting and how it reflects current concerns.

The way traditions and history are erased made me think about how fragile our own cultural identities are. Was this emotional response shared by others?

Their struggles with memory and belonging seem to mirror larger questions about collective history. I wonder if the author intended these stories as allegories.
