As racist as I expected it to be? More so. Standard white savior stuff mixed with just about every stereotype you could possibly imagine.
Better than the weird nonsense in the thornbirds, my comparison for all trashy epics. No. I'd rather read that again 10000 times than read this ever again.

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions; anger and frustration not infrequent. The nuances in race, gender, and class relations
had me constantly questioning what I'd previously known to be true of that time and place.
I don't feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone because of the subject matter, but it was a wild read.
