I understand the theme, but was wondering if the talk turns graphically descriptive? Thanks.

For the most part the assaults are not really described. They are mentioned but not in graphic detail. The book concentrates more on the women's conversations with each other which includes philosophy, religion and even humor. I really appreciated that Toews chose to focus on the women's personality rather than graphically describing the assaults.

I didn't find it to be graphic, but found it extremely disturbing when the age of the youngest victim was mentioned. As Mel answered, it is mostly a conversation amongst women about their plans moving forward, not on the acts of violence.
