Summary: Heartache and humor in the Deep South circa 1961!
Comment: I am a huge ARS fan!! Some of her books are just plain "bad", but others are wonderful!! This is one!! The tried and true image of the "little lost soul" ie, Peyton, is quickly replaced by the strange, exotic, questionable character of Nora!! Nora breathes fresh air into Peyton's lonely life in small town GA circa 1961. Siddons' writing seems to capture the scene, the town, the era so beautifully!! I don't think she's ever written quite so discriptively!! And for those of you NOT from the South, she captures the true feeling of what it was like growing up in a small Southern town in the early '60's.
As for Nora, Siddons has captured the true "free spirit" that people were afraid of, were in "awe" of, secretly admired, and generally distrusted!! She is not the "true lady of the South" by a long shot!! I found this really refreshing!!! And I know a "Nora" in my small Southern town upbringing!! I'm sure there were many more!!! A little different from the usual ARS, but well worth the read!!

Summary: Hallmark Presents
Comment: Anne Rivers Siddons' most recent novel could better have been titled Peyton, Peyton. Although Nora is the catalyst for much of the action in this short novel, this is truly a coming-of-age story about a young girl,Peyton, growing into self-awareness and real life. As I progressed in the novel, I couldn't help but visualize sitting in front of the TV, watching this on the Hallmark Show. Can't you just see the beautiful Nora, in her pink convertible coming into the small town and turning everything and everybody into a tizzy? This is a fun,easy read but not Siddons best. It seemed to me that she was in a hurry to turn out another book, and didn't take the time to fully develop the characters. When she does, as in Up Island, she is magnificent!

Summary: A Useful Read
Comment: In Anne Rivers Siddons' book Nora, Nora, she captures the emotions of a 12 year old girl and unleashes them in a still racially-drawn South during the heat and turmoil of 1961. She sends a distant relative to relieve this girl of her pent-up preteen angst and of her father's sheltered life and changes it into something to talk about. Again Siddons has proven herself worthy of throwing herself into a life other than her own and turning it into something happy. With her colourful depiction and mysterious twist, Nora, Nora is a useful read that will soften hearts and bring a couple of laughs along the way.
