The book is FULL of racist anti-Black slurs which kept jarring me out of the narrative.
Also I don't know if it's the story or the edition I read, but there seemed to be weird jumps in the narrative and things that weren't explained at all.

Moderate: Infidelity

The terms used to describe people of color are not acceptable in 2022 but were used in 1899 at the publication of this book. They do not use the N-word but they use outdated terms that might be offensive.
