The main relationship in this book is very heavily represented as dominant (violent) male/submissive female which is not uncommon in books of this time but it’s very extreme here. So just be mindful if you do not like reading about this kind of relationship.cat80324's review against another edition

Casual racism should be expected in an older book, but it nearly made me stop reading it. Yes, product of the times and maybe the characters were written that way so that they weren’t likable… I’m not sure, but I did finish the book because I wanted to find out how it all ended.
