The historical backdrop adds such a chilling atmosphere. I'm curious whether real events or places influenced the author's choice of setting.

The depiction of the asylum and societal attitudes felt very raw and unsettling. Did readers pick up on whether it was meant to critique or mirror real historical practices?

The way female characters challenge or conform to societal expectations was so compelling. I wonder what led to the decision to highlight feminism through these characters.
