  • GA received one day before DYK nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. First hook is interesting; hook ref verified and cited inline. I struck ALT1 because it says nothing about the novel and could well be said about other novels. Image is fair use. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
