Great Chris, thanks.
The commit history could be improved significantly here. There are lots
of items marked as editorial which are not, like running se semanticate.
You also make some changes, and then undo them in later commits. But in
those cases you should rebase your repo to drop the bad commits, instead
of introducing new commits to undo things.
Note that words that are in Merriam-Webster should not go in italics,
like table d'hote, cafe aut lait, repousee, and many others. Those are
just English now.
Also, unless it's an obvious typo we don't add or remove words, like
"the central park" -> "central park".
The short description must be a complete sentence, but in this one it's
a fragment.
This is also missing the Harper Prize metadata, even though it mentions
it in the long description.
The long description is mostly a biography of Parrish, but we don't want
that. If she has many books in our corpus, are we to repeat the
biography in each one? Instead, talk about the book. All I learned about
the book from this long description is "time takes a toll on an 1850s
family" and that it won some awards. What is the setting, what is the
toll taken, why is the toll taken, why is this dramatic, why is this
work deserving of prize? What is the plot? These are the things we
should talk about, instead of a Parrish biography.
I've corrected the other issues I mentioned, but can you please rewrite
the short and long descriptions, and push those to your repo?
