However, it takes place in the 30s, and the characters certainly speak like it — and by that I mean, they’re racist. Even if that character is not, like, extremely racist, they use the n-word, and there’s at least one anti-Semitic comment as well. These parts were hard to read and, to me, often felt unnecessary even it was “true” to the historic time period. I wanted to mention if that’s just not something you want to be reading.
There’s also a racist trope presumably unintentionally used—

I want to say there’s pedophilia but there really isn’t, the main character is just a creep and flirts with a child.pumpkin_fiend's review against another edition

As for Eudora, she read like your typical Hot Gorgeous Wife Who Is Also Stubborn And Really Smart But In A Sexy Non-Threatening Way. She lacked the depth or complexity that would make her relationship to Frank remotely compelling, which seems important when your novel’s emotional poignancy rests almost entirely on its shoulders.
