The violence is graphic and undoubtedly authentic, making the characters subjected to it more sympathetic. But the pacing is so fast in the beginning, jumping years and places, that I can't connect to the protagonist beyond sympathy, though the author certainly makes me want to. Also, the interplay between Lily & Julian is both intriguing and disturbing; & I have small questions about historical accuracy.
