Swimming Pool Sunday

The novel feels like a tapestry of lives intersecting in unexpected ways. I'm curious whether the structure was planned from the start or developed during writing.

Their dilemmas felt so real and relatable, but I also found myself questioning some of their decisions. Did the author intend to make us sympathize with everyone?

The setting creates such a vivid atmosphere of leisure and hidden tensions. I'm wondering if there was a personal or symbolic reason behind choosing this scene.
