Silver Wedding (novel) edit

  • ... that the Irish novelist Maeve Binchy was inspired to write Silver Wedding after hearing a girl on the bus talk about her parents' horrible marriage? Source: "...the idea for Silver Wedding came while sitting on a bus. She overheard a girl saying to her friend that it was her parents' silver wedding and she must remember to get a card. Her friend said, 'Oh, that's nice, is there to be a party?' To which the first girl replied, 'No, it's a dreadful marriage—but the worse the marriage the bigger the card'."

  • Article was created 18.27 hours prior to its nomination, its prose is 3071/1500 requisite character length, and everything written conforms to the policies, guidelines, and manuals with which I'm familiar. The hook is 148/200 characters; it's appropriate for a board audience, it is duly cited to two reliable sources, and it's neutral in and of itself. Yoniah thoroughly reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Negro in Art. I see no issues with this nomination (though if I'm correct, this's my first review to be so). — fourthords | =Λ= | 19:26, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
