It is fair to say that this book is at times difficult to read due to its  use of pigeon English dialectical speech. However, it is an interesting and probably historically correct snapshot into the life and times on which it was set. Dealing with many unsavory subjects from the liberalization of the stereotypical modernizing woman and the stuck in the mud stiff upper lip attitude  of the colonial Englishman, to exploitation and slavery in its varied forms, it nevertheless creates a fanciful story of romance amongst opposites and how love can conquer all, including the self. Well worth a read.
