First-rate narration

The general plot of the story was fine but it never added any complexity other than some circular introspection of "why oh why" by Gerald.
I was distressed about the casual statements indicating white race superiority when referring to native South Africans working in diamond mines. This was apartheid South Africa.
.
I was also uncomfortable with the inconsistent character of Elizabeth. She was strong and had made her way in the theater and managed her life efficiently. That she wanted to marry a man she loved and have children leaving the stage behind may be an excellent choice but the desire to be taken care of and submit to a stronger wiser person rather than entering an equal relationship did not fit.
Geralds naivety and vasilation between despair and courage seemed over done. Sir Walter was strong and smart and wise. In general the characters in the story are described more than demonstrated and developed into seemingly believable people.
I was disappointed in the book and have returned it. It is a book written for different era -- and era with casual assumptions about colonialism, race, gender, and character that I believe have changed in some of us.
The story is dated
