Who is developing this article? The great H.M.V. herself? That's not allowed--go to myspace. If it's someone else, please show where you are getting your facts. 68.0.84.212 07:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)D.H.[reply]

The lack of neutrality in this article is apparent in sentences like this one, and others that sound more like a book review: "She had been spurred to write the novel because of her passion not to let these souls be forgotten, while at the same time telling a beautifully woven work on life" 198.255.224.198 (talk) 05:14, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
