5.0
It is such a beautiful book and one I’ll carry with me, there are such sad and graphic scenes but so thoughtfully and well written
Graphic: Child abuse, Miscarriage, Misogyny, Sexism, Sexual assault, Suicide, Torture, Violence, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Toxic relationship
Minor: Sexual content
Set during witch trials so comes with the upset and mistreatment of women associated with these times, fairly scary upsetting sexual assault of a minor page number in spoiler page 260-264, it is mentioned maybe twice after that but not in graphic detail
