Appropriate for a 15-year-old? How much sexual content/violence?

Even I'm struggling a little, because it assumes you have some background knowledge about Indian history (I had to look up the Emergency.) It's got sex, but it's not described in graphic detail like in Middlesex (that book scarred me) and the violence is pretty mild. So I reckon it should be appropriate, just tricky to read. And you asked this 6 years ago, so it's definitely appropriate for a 21-year-old.(less)
