novel's

Long story's own

Novel's is the possessive form of novel, indicating something belonging to or associated with a novel.

It typically modifies nouns describing elements of a book: the novel's protagonist, the novel's opening chapter, the novel's central theme.

Less commonly, it can be possessive of the adjective sense: the approach's novel's appeal lay in its freshness.
