No. Lots of sex and violence.

Depends on the 12 year old girl. Some 12 year olds could probably handle it just fine. My neice read Stephen King's "IT" when she was 8 years old. The Housemaid does have some sex and of course violence in it, but probably not more than some shows on tv that kids watch these days.
Amanda
Depends on the kid. The sex scenes are very "fade to black". The violence is not worse than SVU or Criminal Minds.
Thushara Tom
I wouldn't recommend it to a 12-year-old.

I think that this book is a perfect book to read between a daughter and a mother. Or if you wanted, you could start reading it by yourself and if you find something that makes you uncomfortable you can talk about it with an adult you trust. You could also just put the book down. There is no shame in not finishing a book. Yes there is sex, and yes, there is some violence (not the bloody kind), but there are also many lessons to be learned from this book.
Tizzz
Better not. Have lots of violence.
Cindy Keller
In my opinion I would say 12 is not old enough for this book.
Brenda Binkley
I would say no.
Levi
Im a 13 year old boy and I read a lot. I read this and from what I remember it should be fine. Maybe a little uncomfortable scenes but I was fine and it was a great book so.
