Moderate: Child abuse and Sexual violence
Minor: Physical abuse, Domestic abuse, War, Suicide attempt, Racism, Pedophilia, Pandemic/Epidemic, Torture, Suicide, Slavery, and Sexual content
Graphic depiction or two of animal death, important to the story line. Child death / murder and abuse discussed. Attempted r*pe and familial r*pe discussed, as is voluntary incest. This book, as the real event, heavily involves cannibalism. Historical accuracies were well used coupled with fabrication to make it interesting.
