General content warnings, a lot of racial tension and slurs used very liberally throughout, and a description of an animal death that has stuck with me sense I read it.
The story is more so a look on what happens when a tragedy like the death of the nine year old boy Robin can not be explained or reasoned with. You do get closure on some aspects, but if you're looking for The Big Reveal you will be disappointed. I was, but Tartt's writing was more than worth it and I think the wrap up of the book was beautifully tense in its own way.
