There is a lot of the darker side of the human experience covered in this book, and it can be gruesome at times.
It also tells stories of overcoming that violence and trauma without diminishing the fact that damage has been done and is not wiped away forever in a state of "having recovered".
I loved the well-written and very subtle foreshadowing carefully laced throughout the story with tremendous pay-off.
