Parental Incest: A theme throughout the book. James goes to war to try and rid himself of his attraction to his daughter. He later impregnates Kathleen by raping her. She subsequently dies during a horribly botched C-section, although some of it is Death by Despair. He also abuses Frances, although it's not clear if he does so with his other children.

Cats Are Magic/Cats Have Nine Lives: Played with. One scene evokes the possibility of the family cat doing something magical...then he gets locked in an attic trunk and they don't find him for many years.

Loads and Loads of Characters: It is a multi-generational family story, after all, set in small-town Nova Scotia.
