What a gorgeous book. I love Greek mythology, although I do not claim to know much about it. However, my absolute favorite part about this book is actually that at its core it is a book about womanhood, about immortality and mortality, and about being a lover in a world that can be so cruel.
Graphic: Misogyny
Moderate: Death, Emotional abuse, and Rape
Minor: Body horror
This has a couple of graphic, quite disturbing descriptions of childbirths that go badly (not miscarriages, though).
