White Dog Fell from the Sky

The narrative jumps between past and present in a way that kept me engaged but also a bit confused at times. I wonder what inspired the choice to structure it this way?

The descriptions made the landscape almost a character itself. I'm curious whether the author has personal ties to the region or did extensive research to bring it to life.

Their struggles felt real and raw, but I found myself wondering if I would have made the same decisions in their place. What moments stood out to others?
