Improved to Good Article status by Vanamonde93 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:25, 30 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Day Before the Revolution; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Interesting book, fine detailed GA on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. In the hook, I believe one award would be enough to make the case. In the article, I wonder why death and grief are linked, at all, but I saw two of each. I'm open to other hooks if you'd rather say more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:17, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
