Echoes (Binchy novel)

 * ... that in her second novel, Echoes, Maeve Binchy underscores the paucity of educational opportunities in small Irish towns prior to the passage of free secondary education in 1967? Source: "The scarce educational opportunities available at home is a central theme of Binchy's 1985 novel, Echoes, set between 1950 and the early 1960s. ... Free secondary-school education was introduced in Ireland in 1967 with huge consequences for the education of Irish girls and boys." (The Irish Times)

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is fine. In the article, could you write a bit more lead? A bit more reception? - It's quite plot-heavy. I learned the word "unbeknownst", but can that be said simpler? - If you say no to all I'll approve it as it is. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:19, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * This article looks like the other ones for her novels. There isn't much more to add to the lead. I could look around for more material for "Reception", but I'm not sure I'll find it. This isn't my usual DYK nomination because it's on the light side. But I'm a huge Maeve Binchy fan and when I saw I could write 1500 characters on this novel, I did.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you! You could just write in the lead what the hook says, and mention TV adaption, but as you like it. Thank you for the review of my latish nom, - and I recently saw Anatevka, thinking of you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:50, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
