Parents Guide WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD Sexuality: Moderate There is a lot of discussion and content on the marital act, but the author handles it very gently and modestly. Violence & Gore: Moderate There isn't violence or gore per se, but it should be noted there is a whole lot of death that one has to deal with. Miscarriage, accidents, disease, cancer, kill various characters. This is not done arbitrarily however. The author is trying to show the fragility of life, especially during that time period. Profanity: None Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: None
