Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG-13
There are no steamy sex scenes in this novel, so why the "PG-13" rating? Well, there's one obvious reason: Forgotten Fire is about Armenian genocide, and this means it's also a tale about rape. It's a tough pill to swallow, but the sex that shows up in this novel is violent and nasty—Vahan sees and hears about rape first with his sisters, then with Seranoush, and finally with Seta. The soldiers might not care about these girls or their fate, but it's pretty hard for Vahan—and readers—to forget.
