I’m basically wanting to know if the book has any mention of sex scenes whether it is due to graphic violence of it or romantically.

I’ve read historical fiction books where it was implied but never described of any sorts or it was never mentioned.

The nightingale certainly is describing the rape and I had to skip those pages. (less)
