This story was enjoyable, especially the way it brought to life parts of the story set in earlier centuries. I can't tell if it was one of those 'almost deep but without actual substance' kind of stories, or if it was actually deep and I never quite absorbed it properly because of listening to it as an audio book.
This book has no graphic content, but it does have a smattering of veiled references to physical intimacy, and quite a bit of emotional tension and death, including in the name of witch hunting, and some passing references to depression/PPD and suicidal thoughts. There are also a few annoying side comments, like when he intentionally uses odd wording in order imply that a baby in the womb is not actually human yet. Not recommended for very young readers, but some teen readers might enjoy it.
