Villa triste (Tankobon Hardcover)

The Italian backdrop feels so vivid and atmospheric—I'm curious whether real locations or personal experiences shaped this choice and how it affected the storytelling.

The pacing felt deliberate, which made the revelations impactful but also left me wondering if that was the author's intent or a reflection of the characters' own hesitations.

The blend of history and fiction felt seamless, sparking questions about how much research went into shaping the backdrop and whether the historical details were inspired by real events.
