Mentions in Nora's books





“It’s a favorite of mine, so I hope you like it.”
Curious, he ripped the protective brown paper off, then broke into a huge grin.
“You’re not going to believe this.”
“You have it already?”
“Nope. My mother does. Happens it’s one of her favorites, too.”
It pleased her to hear it. “I imagine she was fond of Maxfield Parrish’s work or she
wouldn’t have named her son after the artist.”
“She has a few of his prints. This one’s in her sitting room. What’s it called again?”

”Lady Violetta About to Make Tarts” Laine told him as they both studied the framed
print of a pretty woman standing in front of a chest and holding a small silver pitcher.

Mentions in Nora's Novels




At GoodReads, today, someone was saying how details aren't important in Novels... someone had been pointing that some less rigorous detail in one NR novel that kept distracting her from the story... two members jumped in saying that it wasn't important... I beg to differ... we all love Nora Roberts' Books BUT details DO matter.

When reading a novel - as much deep into it I am - I can't help but having my mind flying away with the several mentions that show up. It is easy for a song, a singer's name, a place mention to send me away from the book into the internet to search for what Nora's trying to show, bring, evoke... that way I can return to the book knowing where and with whom I stand ;)












On one salmon-colored wall was a Maxfield Parrish sea nymph. Noting it, Philip had affirmed that Adrianne was more of a romantic than she wanted to admit.
