Through the eyes of its titular characters, the novel explores themes of class disparity, racial tension, and personal agency, employing a rich, evocative literary style that echoes the Gothic and romantic elements characteristic of 19th-century American literature. Strickland's nuanced portrayal of emotional landscapes invites readers to grapple with the moral conundrums of a society built on slavery, ultimately challenging prevailing notions of virtue and oppression while revealing the humanity within its characters.
