GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Remove "best-selling" per WP:LEAD

"Though she is in love with him, she soon" - perhaps "Though being in love with him, she"

" the book; " - replace semicolon with comma

"her widowed grandmother the Duchess of Tamworth" - suggest adding commas between "the Duchess of Tamworth"

The rest is excellent
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
I would say the white background should be cropped
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I've made all the changes to the prose. Which white background are you referring to? If you mean the book cover, I'm not sure why there is all that space in the infobox. I removed the sizing parameter, but would be willing to hear other suggestions. Thanks for the review! Ruby 2010/2013 15:42, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the image could be cropped to remove the white space. But hey, I can't see any real issues, so passing. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 13:53, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for reviewing. I'll upload a better image when I get a chance. Ruby 2010/2013 21:28, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
