Content
In the plot summary, I have a couple of questions about some word choices that alter meaning. In the second paragraph it states "She represses these experiences..." Is the main character unconsciously forgetting her trauma or actively trying to forget it. There is a big difference psychologically. Suppression is deliberately trying to forget, while repression is a trauma response of unconsciously forgetting. The same question applies to the use of "suppression" in paragraph four of the plot summary. The same also applies to the use of "suppressed" in paragraph five of the plot summary. I think is paragraph five "oppressed" may be a better word choice.

Also in the summary, I would state who the main protagonist is. (Unless the novel switches perspectives-I would add that in too)

Other than that, I think you all killed it on the content. There are several connections of this Norwegian novel to the modern cultural struggles of America, which is really amazing that you all found that.

Tone and Balance
You all did a wonderful job of maintaining a neutral tone throughout the article! I didn't notice any biases or favoritism

Sources and References
The links seem to be functional and the Reference section is well organized!

Organization
Personally, the plot summary was hard to understand if I hadn't read the character summary first. The novel has several characters with the same first letter of the names so I was getting confused. Maybe place the Character Summary before the Plot Summary? I think overusing the names made it a bit confusing as well due to them sounding so similar. Perhaps switch out the names with "their father", "their mother", etc.

Overall Impressions
Overall, great job! This seems like an interesting book! You all did amazing and the article feels complete to me!
