Leon & Juliette

The book intertwines intimate lives with significant history, so I’m curious how the author decided on this balance and what drew her to these particular characters.

Their personal story felt very moving, almost more real than the big events around them. Did this make anyone else connect more deeply with their experiences?

Given that biographies often rely on limited sources, I wonder what research process or sources the author used to bring their stories to life with such intimacy.
