Violent, yes, but vivid and emotional also, with a creative structure (including notes from "Dad" about how the story might be changed which reveal more about what is going on here) and lovely prose.

Warned against the devil, Easter ensures she only listens to the angels. Her mother warns her of their families fate, trying to keep her free; of the white folk and the African devils.

I probably should've listened to 'dad' at the end.
