Зимняя кость (Книга - открытие)

The environment feels almost like a character itself, shaping every decision and interaction. I wonder what inspired the detailed depiction of the Ozarks.

Her choices are heartbreaking but also show a deep sense of responsibility. How do readers interpret her balancing survival and morality?

The pacing emphasizes the atmosphere and character development, but I’m curious if this was planned or evolved naturally during writing.
