After reading the first few chapters of the book, I was struck by how much
appearence plays a part in the everyday life of these people. Appearence
on many levels.
Jim wants to have the appearence of being an aristocrat without actually
being one. Savannah is a town where appearences matter, remember the
stories about how people cover things up.
Also, despite the intergration movement, the divide between black and white
is still very prominent.
Just a thought.
