Graphic: Pregnancy, Death, Child abuse, and Infidelity
Moderate: Death of parent, Child death, Incest, Adult/minor relationship, Toxic relationship, and Slavery
Minor: Ableism, Animal death, Sexual content, and Domestic abuse
Other triggers: Childbirth, spousal neglect Note on Incest trigger: Many characters in this story marry their first cousins, and we in the West would categorize that as incest. But it’s clear from the book that not only is that not considered incest in Oman, marrying someone from your family is often preferable to marrying a stranger. It is still incest to us Westerners, but in the book it's treated as a very good marriage option.bodiesinbooks's review against another edition
