When the attempted coup was stopped, the Medici and the mob finished off most of the male members of Flora's family. Brutally.

I love books set in this era too. But your mention of violence makes me ask, is there graphic rape in this book? I can't deal with that. Thanks for the review Jayne. I love books set in this era too.
