4.5
Very well written and compelling read. Due to it's setting in wartime (WWII), there's a lot of challenging content regarding violence and prejudice. However it's not gratuitous, just adds emotional context to living in this time period & place. A rollercoaster of emotions throughout along with the ups & downs of the characters' luck. Tragic at times but worth the read.
Graphic: Racism, Torture, Religious bigotry, Violence, War, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Sexism, Addiction, and Pregnancy
