A very important book in the queer historical vernacular and understanding domestic violence. A difficult read and told in an interesting way it was unexpected but I’m glad I read it.

Moderate: Sexual content and Lesbophobia

Minor: Animal cruelty and Sexual assault

Regarding animal cruelty: there is one scene that could be described as animal cruelty, and it a short quick scene. Spoiler warning to explain the scene -

the author describes living somewhere with pest issues when she found a glue trap with a mouse in it. The scene briefly describes how she kills the mouse. There is not a lot of detail but it did catch me off guard.
