Content Warnings

Moderate: Death, Racial slurs, and Fire/Fire injury

Minor: Body horror, Incest, and Racism

incest implied only. some outdated language - particularly the frequent use of the g slur for the main Romani character, as well as a couple outdated descriptors for Black and Asian characters (nonetheless, the book is still remarkable for its racially diverse cast written by a Black man in the 60s, and imo absolutely worth a read)
