De vogel in de boom

The detailed historical backdrop added depth to the characters' journeys, but I'm curious whether the setting was chosen for personal or thematic reasons.

Their resilience and faith felt very uplifting, but I wonder if others found it almost too optimistic at times or if that was intentional.

The characters’ reliance on faith seemed central to their growth, but I’d love to hear thoughts on how that shaped their decisions and arcs.
