New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. There is a little close paraphrasing in your ALT1 hook; surely you can rewrite the deaths of two young activists, perhaps indicating they died from their own bomb. In general, the writing in this article is very dense, much more difficult to read than your usual articles.
Regarding the hooks, it took me a while to figure out what the first hook is saying until I read the article. (Not good for a hook.) ALT1 is easier, but I think it's talking about the wrong book. It would help to identify her as a Welsh novelist in the hook. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 20:01, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Withdrawn by nominator. Yoninah (talk) 10:46, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
