The historical events in this novel are more of a place setting for the topics discussed. Abuse is a topic of discussion. Although readers will get frustrated with Cora forgiving Ernt on numerous occasions, it also is a fair depiction of the battle a battered girlfriend/spouse fight. Ernt’s opposition to Tom Walker’s changes to Kenaq introduces a discussion of old versus new that is generational. The topic that connects these discussions is love.
