There are several scenes of homophobic driven family violence recounted - not extensive, but present as a theme.aplatt's review against another edition

Some might argue that it’s historically accurate, but seeing as it’s a historical fiction novel about three upper class/high society British citizens who manage to make their way across the European continent with no money and no worldly experience outside of the boarding schools and palaces they grew up in, it think the author could have taken the liberty to not use this language.
Furthermore, I loved the main relationship at first, and I still find it adorable, but I can’t bring myself not to dwell on how toxic it is. Though the story ends in a vow to be better, the mental health of one of the main character does not allow him to be a good partner and it is to the detriment of his better half who stupidly forgives him time and time again.
Overall, the story is cute and full of ridiculous adventure if you’re able to look past it’s screaming faults.
