Dwie niedźwiedzice

The story feels deeply rooted in both individual conflicts and the broader historical context. I'm curious if this dual focus was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The portrayal of Israel's landscape and history was so vivid, yet the vendettas added an undercurrent of unease. How did that emotional balance come across for others?

Vendettas can be such a powerful motive, but I wonder what drew Shalev to explore this theme within this specific historical and cultural setting.
