Here's the lint passage in this novel:
"Shameful," Maureen joined in. She brushed a piece of lint off Richard's lapel. It struck Nellie as a maternal gesture. Even though Richard was an orphan, at least he had a big sister who clearly adored him.
This book has more twists and turns than Lombard Street in San Francisco.
It's more the way this story was told than the story itself that is so intriguing, I think. Original and well done.
