Moderate: Child abuse and Sexual violence
Minor: Physical abuse, Domestic abuse, War, Suicide attempt, Racism, Pedophilia, Pandemic/Epidemic, Torture, Suicide, Slavery, and Sexual content
Graphic depiction or two of animal death, important to the story line. Child death / murder and abuse discussed. Attempted r*pe and familial r*pe discussed, as is voluntary incest. This book, as the real event, heavily involves cannibalism. Historical accuracies were well used coupled with fabrication to make it interesting.filipa_maia's review against another edition

Although, at some points this is a very dark and twisted story I found it very dragging and kinda hard to keep up. There are too many characters, too many similar names, too many background stories...
Maybe I need to reread it and the next time I will enjoy it more. We'll see!
