She had never tried her hand at literature before and, to write her first work, she was inspired by several dystopian novels: Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, which Dalcher first read in 1984, when she was in high school, and which she has reread frequently since then; Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, which she read in the mid-1980s, when it had just been published. According to her, the common thread of these three novels is the danger represented by a state that is too present in the lives of citizens.[5] Bibliography
