Nora, Nora: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: I laughed and I cried. Another Great one from Ms. Anne
Review: After reading some of the reviews of this book, I was a little concerned about it's content and whether I would like it or not. Now I say to you "Monday Night Quarterbacks", what were you reading? This was a wonderful book. Yeah, it's not a classic, but those of you who are familiar with Anne Rivers Siddons, knows that. This is also not "To Kill A Mockingbird" and should not be compared to it. To me, this is more about the characters and their stories. I loved Nora. She is spunky and not afraid to be herself and stick up for herself and what she believes in. She is also struggling with her past and tends to run away from it. Peyton is an enjoyable character as well. She grew into a little lady before our eyes.
I am a little confused as to the reason the housekeeper was referred to as both Clothilde and Chloe in the same breath. It took me a few pages to realize this was one person. I would love to ask the author why she did this.
This is a little different than most of Anne's books but I still loved it anyway. Well worth the read!!

Summary: Wonderful coming of age novel!
Review: This novel really appeals to all ages! Adult women will remember the angst of their own teen years; teens will identify with Peyton. Novel is distressingly short, though; WE NEED A SEQUEL!
