Lauren | 2168 comments Edit: The update has been made but the formatting is now incorrect in the book description for all editions of "In the Roar of the Sea" by Sabine Baring-Gould (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...). Please remove the spaces in the HTML code in the default book description so that the italics render properly.

Thanks!

Original request (can be ignored):

This is regarding "In the Roar of the Sea" by Sabine Baring-Gould (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)

Please update all editions with a book description that reflects the content of the book. Book descriptions are not readily available online for this somewhat obscure novel, so I've put together the following (note italics):
Judith, a girl on the cusp of womanhood, finds herself orphaned and tasked with the care of her developmentally delayed twin brother. The two are sent to live with their aunt in a small town along the wild and sinister coast of Cornwall, where smugglers lurk and wreckers lure ships to their doom to pilfer stolen goods. Captain Coppinger, the reputed head of the wreckers, is equal parts feared and respected among the townspeople. When he sees the lovely Judith, he falls madly in love. < i>In the Roar of the Sea< /i> is a captivating romance filled with adventure.


Thank you.

Thank you for helping, but would you please correct the HTML italics formatting in the description? The spaces within the sideways carets just need to be removed.

Thanks!

Hi there, it looks like the change was only made for one edition: would you be able to update the others?

Additionally, would you be able to similarly update the descriptions for the following editions, which currently do not have descriptions that reflect the contents of the book (the blurbs currently focus on the author's biography, the cultural importance of the work, or an excerpted passage)?

Xavi | 2464 comments Done, but in future with a long list of links it's better to break it down into groups of five or less, and/or number them. Sometimes it's hard to remember where we left off
