The first half was incredibly slow. It took forever to build up to the actual storyline. I am also still trying to figure out why it was necessary to use such graphic detail to describe a violent sexual assault to one of the main characters.
Graphic: Child abuse, Incest, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Violence
Moderate: Suicide, Torture, Antisemitism, Grief, and Death of parent
Minor: Animal cruelty, Confinement, Dementia, and Kidnapping
