First and foremost, this is a fundamental article creation, down to adding the book's information, its summary, and its characters. There are minor grammatical cases, such as extra spaces "Alfredo Corregio :," and commas that could be added (Unlike her other novels,) but this is genuinely creating an article. It is well written, it is encyclopedic, and it is fixing the lack of content that was initially there. It is neutral and well made, with only minor additions being needed. The article has gone from incomplete to becoming a completed work, with content being present and details on the book, which is exceptionally important when the initial version of this article lacked information such as the publishing year. There are minor instances of past tense such as in the section of Feminism and Motherhood, so it would feel more past tense and passive. I would only suggest one more thing, merely being the addition of a citation regarding Hurston's accusation of sexual abuse. We have studied it, it would just make it more concise and understandable for a casual reader, as they would not know the context of her career's downfall. Excellently done!

Overall this is great work--very substantial edits. The plot overview was very concise and surmised the story very well. Perhaps add, however, a little more elaboration in the "lead" section that contextualizes the novel's creation and Hurston's sentiments regarding the book as well. The themes exploration that was added is also very pertinent and a good inclusion. The sources are also peer-reviewed and current, which is an added benefit. What could be more beneficial to your research, in general, is incorporating more sources into your article. For the amount of information you wrote--it seems as though your citations are not that prominent throughout your article. Even though, however, most of the information you wrote is about the plot of the narrative (characters, themes, etc.) it still will help to gauge more sources in the analysis.
