Wells states "It is, perhaps, the most sympathetic and understanding novel, in its intimate everyday way, about the clash of colour and race-prejudice and racial quality that has ever been written in English..." Lee and his son David's conversation about marriage led to Lee saying "Because the coloured man who marries a white girl is a fool, David. He won't be happy." .
