2) I loved that this book had strong female characters, butI found it frustrating that Nella and Marin lived so neatly in their female roles without any complaints about their lot as women. All Marin and Nella ever care about is procreating and being wives. Why does no female character in this book have agency?
Moderate: Homophobia
