What I understood from my reading of the novel is that it is about tolerance. It is also about understanding and accepting difference and plurality in a world of diversity. Peripatetic characters who have diverse experiences and adapt themselves to the given situation, not just to survive, but because they are just like that. Hope this answers your query.
