It’s also interesting to take a look at the women situation. Always the first victims of these kinds of period. « Women have to suffer »
I also like the end of the book, when we have the confrontation of old mind spirit against the one from usa which is more like ours today.

Unfortunately, about two-thirds through the book, the characters, plot, and themes fall apart. Lee moves too fast through time, not allowing time to develop the later generation of her characters or the themes she has set up. Instead of exploring the point she is trying to make about life and the world, Lee falls into the trap of focusing on spurts of drama that make the reader feel empty due to lack of time for character building. She relies on tropes that occasionally go directly against her themes and certainly never adds anything to them.
