Spoiler
it doesn't sugarcoat that the world is a cruel place. I liked the way the mystery of Nisha's disappearance was misdirected, we initially are led to believe it was one of the men in her life and we find out that it was actually a soldier. We are reminded of the atrocities that soldiers commit when overseas, a fact that is often skipped over in historical fiction.Moderate: Blood, Confinement, Domestic abuse, Child death, Classism, Animal death, Miscarriage, Misogyny, Violence, Alcohol, Animal cruelty, Death, Emotional abuse, Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail, Pregnancy, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, Gaslighting, Grief, Murder, and Pedophilia
