Graphic: Religious bigotry and Sexual content
Moderate: Homophobia
Minor: Abandonment and Colonisation
Religious Bigotry (Graphic): from antagonist, he's against Darwin and gay people. Basically anyone he sees as an "evildoer"; Sexual content (Graphic): less sexual content than usual with this author but still graphic; Homophobia (Moderate): see above, moderate because it's a side character and is revealed late in the book; Abandonment (Minor): gay side character is forced from his home and his lover is killed; Colonization (Minor): reference is made to British men having plantations in Sri Lanka (Ceylon in the novel)
