Mr. Wolf, at the time it was written, it probably had way more relevance. Women DID act like that. Men DID have those attitudes. The English empire DID look on native Indians as inferior.
The scene in the cave probably sent some women into palpitations, wondering what really happened, and using their imagination to fill in the gaps.
Don't get me started on 'worst books ever'. That would
have to be Dune.
