This authenticity of character is not spared for Daniel alone for each of the characters that exist on the story are real, almost tangible and perfectly flawed as real people are.
Hands down the easiest 5 stars I have ever given, and hands down the easiest rccomendation I could make to an avid reader who won't shy away from 506 pages of pure heart gripping immersion.
Moderate: Homophobia and Sexism
Minor: Antisemitism

And the misogyny... Ugh. I get it's set in the 40s/50s but there is literally not one female character in here that is described by something other than their beauty, youth, or fertility. Gross. And they exist solely to develop the character of Daniel, of course.
