About this listen
“A treat to be savored.” —Houston Chronicle
A classic from New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons, Nora, Nora tells the story of free-thinking Cousin Nora Findlay who turns tiny Lytton, Georgia, on its ear in the summer of 1961. Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides) says the author of Low Country, Up Island, Peachtree Street, and King’s Oak “ranks among the best of us,” and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution praises Nora, Nora as “Anne Rivers Siddons writing at the top of her form. This lively, sparkling coming-of-age novel is superbly written and wholly engaging.”
©2000 Anne Rivers Siddons; (P)2000, 2003 HarperCollinsPublishers, Inc.Would you listen to Nora, Nora again? Why?
Yes, having heard nothing of this book previously, I thought the blurb sounded interesting and bought it. It begins with a very angery child trying to find her place in her southern town and into womanhood. All the characters are very well portrayed down to the secondary, and passer by characters. I liked the relationships with Nora, her Grandma and her father, as well as her frienemies in the Loosers Club. This book would have gotten 5 stars if it had not had a very strange and unresolved plot line via the grandmother before her death that was underdeveloped and caused the girl to act out of character. I didn't understand why it was in there if she wasn't going to do anything else with it, but even with this very annoying bit in it the book, overall, fantastic. For some reason it gave me the To Kill a Mocking Bird feel, but I'm not sure why. I recomend this book.Have you listened to any of Debra Monk’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, but I liked this one.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No, not any one part over another.A nice surprise
