I'm hoping that you mistyped in some way when you said lesbianism ...which is off-putting even today. If you do feel that way about homosexuality, I would prefer that you keep it out of comments on trennels.
I don't remember any nudity (bar corpses) expect single-sex bathing places and Peter in his bedroom (can we infer from Mrs Ruddle's comments what height the window-frame was?), and I doubt that would have been terrible in 1938, certainly not on the level of drug-running.
Sayer's anti-Semitism would be one thing that wouldn't have got her books banned pre-WWII, because at her level it was institutionalised.
