Brenda Page reference

Not sure about this paragraph which has been in place since the article was created in 2007:

"Brenda Page was another influence on Mallory's writing. Page's 1927 school story Schoolgirl Rivals is obviously Mallory's inspirational source for Juliet Overseas. In the early chapters the similarities between the two books are particularly apparent with sentences being transposed with slight or no alteration; she was a stranger in a strange land becomes She was a new girl in a strange land; a crowd of passengers from another train swarmed across the platform becomes a little crowd of passengers from another train hurried across the platform. As the stories progress however Mallory strikes off firmly on her own taking her story to a level of excellence in characterisation and plotting that far surpasses the earlier book."

This is unsourced and looks like original research. The first quoted parallel does not read convincingly in any case as possibly both books are referring to Exodus 2:22. I'm considering removing it but will wait until others have had a chance to respond. Tacyarg (talk) 10:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
