Triggering content is period typical. It's historical fiction taking place in colonial New England, if you aren't prepared for sexism, racism, and a theocratic society, maybe skip this novel. The ending has

a satisfying payoff for the main character, though.

This was a fascinating look at one of the first divorce cases in 1600s Boston amongst the Puritans.  While the book was slower-paced than his contemporary novels, I still had a hard time putting it down.
