I will be thinking about this one for a while.
Graphic: Rape, Sexual violence, and Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Homophobia, Infidelity, and Abandonment
Minor: Confinement, Suicide, Torture, Antisemitism, and Grief
The spoilers sound bad, but it is more a commentary on the historical context and setting of the book than the book itself. The author treats most of these scenes with respect, even if they are uncomfortable, nothing is graphic just for the sake of it.
