Под сенью чайного листа

The narrative shifts between characters and timelines, which kept me hooked but also made me curious about the structuring process. Was this planned from the start or did it evolve during writing?

The cultural details felt so authentic and immersive—I'm wondering how much research went into capturing those traditions and everyday life.

The symbolism added so much depth to the story, and I’d love to know what led to those particular elements becoming central to the narrative.
