The narrative jumps between characters and eras, which kept me engaged but also made me curious about the structuring process. Was this approach planned from the start or did it develop during writing?

Their struggles felt so real and personal, prompting me to reflect on how resilience is portrayed in historical fiction. I wonder if the author drew from personal stories or extensive research for these moments.

The settings added depth to the narrative but also raised questions about the historical research involved. I’d love to hear what drew the author to these particular locations and periods.
