Graphic: Ableism, Xenophobia, and War
Moderate: Racial slurs, Racism, Sexual violence, Toxic friendship, and Sexual harassment
Racism is experienced by a supporting character and his son, and other characters use racial slurs to refer to them as well. There is also a description of a sexual assault attempt that happened to a main character in her past. Finally a character is forcefully put into a mental institution against her will by other characters . Otherwise period appropriate sexism and ableism appear.
