Novella

Written in 1999

This is a fantasy shared with me by a 90 years old woman, who was convicted of armed robbery back in the 1930s, and never revealed where she hid the money. Before you even ask: she did not reveal where the money was, to me, either. But her real scheme, the one she planned for years, never came to fruition. That's the story of Nora.

Nora

What’s sauce for the goose is cold cash for the gander?

Nora has never broken a rule in her life. She has never had a reason to.

She is a good sister. She loves her brother Danny more than anything. Everyone who knows her would tell you that first.

When Danny came to her with a debt she could not pay and a deadline she could not ignore, she did the only thing she could think of.

She never had the courage or the means to do so, but for her brother she would have to rob a bank.

Set in 1973, Nora is the story of what happens to a good person who does something unforgivable for the right reason.
