The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
Mackenzi Lee
- Reading
- If the topics may be difficult, read together or check in after passages involving remembered abuse, sexual situations or heavy drinking; the violence is reported without gore, but peril recurs.
- Themes
- Bisexuality and social acceptance: Henry is attracted to men and women; an account describes his father beating him over involvement with boys and wider social repercussions. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes detailed kissing and flirting, a brief undressing scene, frequent excessive drinking, tobacco and drug references, fights and peril, remembered beatings, and occasional strong language.
