Interesting book, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. In the hook, I think we can say "features" because it still does. I believe it's a factual plot thing which doesn't need so-and-so said that it featured. (If not we need rewording.) - In the article, the plot sentence about making a living etc seems too complex, - I had to read it twice, and was still not sure I got it. I may be the only one, though. Anyway, if lesbian romance, another woman should be a bit more prominent anyway. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:55, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

"featured" isn't meant to imply it no longer does, but we sometimes use past-tense for works in the past...regardless, I'm fine with "features", changed. Agree that the source is dense, else we could say more about the environmentalism. Thanks. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:00, 26 September 2022 (UTC) I see, you meant the article, not the source. Made a minor tweak, don't want to be too verbose there...Vanamonde (Talk) 21:02, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for changes! I believe "features" suggests more that this is a recent book, not something decades old. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:07, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
