불안한 낙원

The setting feels so vivid and layered—I'm curious whether this was based on extensive research or personal experiences. How did he balance authenticity with storytelling?

The characters' actions often blurred right and wrong, which made me think about the real-life ambiguities in history. Did this resonate with others?

The backdrop adds so much tension and depth, but I wonder what drew Mankell to this particular time and place to tell his story.
