Human Acts by Han Kang, though I am cheating. It has multiple protagonists, and is historical fiction surrounding the very real Gwang-Ju massacre. Depressing and written in a way that truly doesn't care about how you personally feel as long as it gets the point across.
Definitely find a trigger warning list, SA, child killing, and grotesque depictions of festering bodies are used to try to truly get the point across. It's done well, but it is a ripping-off the mask sort of situation, laying the events bare and forcing the reader to sympathize with the plight of the pro-democracy protestors and trade unionists.

Also thanks.
No problem!

I thought about clarifying that this is not a problem but I didn't know how to get my point across.
