Quite a tough read at times, solely because the characters go through so much and the times are horrendous for women. It's very, very bleak. Also the longest short story, "The Golden Cangue" featured the most unlikeable main character.
Minor: Toxic relationship, Infidelity, Child abuse, and Drug abuse
