Drawing inspiration from the pivotal Battle of Saint-Malo—a key moment in the Allies' campaign to liberate France from Nazi occupation—Doerr skillfully weaves a fictional tale grounded in real historical events. Within the meticulously researched historical backdrop, the narratives of Marie-Laure LeBlanc (portrayed by Aria Mia Loberti) and Werner Pfennig (brought to life by Louis Hofmann) unfold as integral components of the larger story.

Navigating Time and Perspective:

Injecting an additional layer of complexity into the storyline, both in the novel and its Netflix adaptation, is the non-linear structure. This narrative technique invites readers and viewers to traverse diverse timelines and perspectives. The intentional use of a non-chronological storytelling approach serves dual purposes—artistic finesse and thematic depth.

At the heart of the narrative is the Sea of Flames, a coveted diamond sought after by Nazi soldier Reinhold von Rumpel. Though the Sea of Flames itself is a creation of fiction, Doerr's inspiration emanates from tangible artifacts, notably the cursed sapphire housed in the British Natural History Museum.
