Moderate: Addiction, Bullying, Sexual assault, Violence, Vomit, Antisemitism, Grief, Religious bigotry, Death of parent, Alcohol, and War

Minor: Gun violence, Incest, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, and Fire/Fire injury

It's heavy and chilling but for the historical context and central mystery, each plot point and moment of discomfort is earned

This is one of my favorite historical fiction books that I have read recently. Sarah was an incredible main character, and I loved watching her journey from scared little girl to a competent and crafty spy. All of the characters were utterly believable and I flew through the pages, disappointed when I was done. I would recommend that this book be made into a blockbuster, but no on-screen film can live up to the experience of reading this book.
