Also really visceral descriptions at times of birth, killing animals, and death, so proceed with caution

that out of the way, it was slow at times—part I alternates between past and present, and i felt that the past dragged on while being merely drip-fed the more interesting present—but it's a beautiful character study, heartbreaking and endearing.

It was however very day and the second part was all about loss and the misery that brings.
Also, Shakespeare is portrayed as a good person but a few comments about their sex is a little uncomfortable.
