Mathilda Savitch (Growth history of a maid)

The narrative offers such an intimate view of her thoughts and feelings. I wonder what inspired the choice to tell the story from her point of view so closely.

Some chapters felt reflective and slow, but it seemed like a deliberate choice to immerse readers in Mathilda’s processing of grief. What do others think about this pacing?

The story touches on complex family dynamics and personal growth. It made me curious about what themes the author aimed to highlight most.
