Has anyone here read cloud atlas? I think I made it halfway through the first book, and it felt so extremely racist that I had to put it down.

For context, I am white. I know the author is white. It was recommended by my therapist who is not white. Is this the type of discomfort I should be feeling as a white person reading about the era, or should I avoid putting this type of racism into my subconscious?
