Twitter Capsule: Long. Less well cut or lit than it could be. Still, nervier tones and sympathies than you'd expect. I'd prepped for worse.

VOR: ③  Commits to the arrogance of white Western missionaries and colonists without totally selling out their intentions or values. Interesting on marriage. Exemplar of mid-60s roadshow style.
