Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

IN THE BLUE OF THE EVENING is a historical novel which depicts the rise and fall of the friendship of two young, French-Canadian women in the mill town of Collins, Maine, during World War II. Micheline Simard and Lorraine Coutiere share a secret which upends their families, in a tight knit community where tradition, religious values, and reputation matter most. Micheline learns to think and act for herself, learning the power of a lie, while Lorraine must struggle to discern lies, and how to break out of the shadow of convention and lead her own life. The novel presents multiple points of view in the third person, which lets the reader follow the plot as it moves forward in multiple locations. Like Ian McEwan's Atonement and Barbara Kingsolver's Animal Dreams, IN THE BLUE OF THE EVENING uses mistaken identities, secrets, and discoveries for dramatic effect.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
