This story focuses heavily on the fascism and socio-political climate of England. As an American reader, the themes and concepts did translate and the story resonated deeply with me, but you will find it feels slightly misaligned with American fascism simply because they are different breeds of the same species.
Some may find the imagery and messaging too heavy handed, but for me it never really felt out of place. When reading others' opinions I would think 'of course it's heavy handed, fascism is heavy handed. It beat's itself into you and many do not even notice.'
