Books with: a main character named Nadine

[Nadine]

I decided it would be fun to do a reading challenge for 2018, and one of the category is a book with a main character with the same first name as mine. My first thought was of course to look at the title, but It seems like Nadine are pretty boring :-).

Do you know any good book with which feature someone named Nadine?
I know that Stephen King's "the stand" as one, but I'd rather have another. Any genre will do, I like most of them if the book is well written.

Perfect Chemistry has a Nadine, although she's not the main female character.

The trilogy of the Eliot family by Elizabeth Goudge has a Nadine.

"The Bird in the Tree was not originally conceived as the opening novel of a trilogy. The story, however, met with such success that readers demanded to hear more about Nadine; an indication that perhaps this type of heroine is the perfect image of the weaknesses of the myth structure in which she operates, and therefore a creation who has an archetypal appeal despite the critical pronouncements. There is something archetypal about Nadine's quest for a self, a quest which unlike that of the male adventure hero, is somehow turned in on itself."

Nadine is called Goudge's "most interesting creation".

"She has appeared in literature almost from its beginning under such various guises as the "castrating woman," the "unfaithful wife," or just simply "the bitch." Basically, what this type has always represented is a kind of hermaphroditic and therefore taboo blend of male spirit with female body. Intellectually and spiritually, the hermaphrodite heroine has a penis, though physically she is a woman, and should therefore be a receptor rather than an actor. Her tragedy is that she does act, and that that action makes her ugly somehow."

Appointment with Death has a Nadine Boynton - I haven't read it, but rarely can one go wrong with a fun Agatha Christie novel.

Annuzza, a Girl of Romania, a YA novel by Hertha Seuberlich. Annuzza's best friend at school is named Nadine. (Note this book is also published under the title Candle in the Wind, but I can't find a link to it because so many other books have that title.) Annuzza, a Girl of Romania

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I might end up reading more then one book for that category. :-)

Nadine, I moved this back to "Suggest books for me" since threads where you are looking for multiple suggestions don't technically get "solved." If you want us to close the thread, in order not to receive any more suggestions, we can do that.

J.D. Robb's In Death series, while about Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke, has a recurring character named Nadine. She's in pretty much all of the books, some more than others, but pretty much all of them.
