Сидни Шелдон. Узы памяти

Alexia's character feels so driven and complex — I wonder what inspired her background and motivations. Did the author draw from real-life figures or events?

The romance was intense but also complicated the suspense for me — I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on how it influenced the story’s pace and mood.

The pacing felt relentless, with secrets dropping at just the right moments. I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
