Het hart is een eenzame jager

The novel delves deeply into each character's mind, making their isolation feel so tangible. I wonder what inspired her to portray loneliness in such nuanced ways.

The ending felt both heartbreaking and quietly hopeful. It made me wonder if McCullers intended for the story to leave readers with a sense of resilience.

The backdrop feels almost like a character itself, shaping the characters’ struggles. I'm curious whether McCullers drew from her own experiences or history.
