The backdrop of Georgia's past seems to deeply shape the characters' lives—did the author intend for history to be almost a character itself in the story?

Some chapters felt contemplative and slow, which made me wonder if that was a stylistic choice to mirror the characters’ introspection or the weight of history.

The vivid descriptions of the setting really brought the place to life—I'm curious whether the author’s personal experiences or research influenced this choice.
