Teaser Tuesdays: Molly Fox’s Birthday

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
Be careful not to include spoilers
Share the author’s name and title.

Molly Fox's Birthday by Deirdre MaddenI just started a new book today, and my teaser comes from Molly Fox’s Birthday by Deirdre Madden. It was a 2009 Orange Prize nominee for fiction, one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious literary prizes. The entire story takes place in a single day in Molly Fox’s house in Dublin which she has loaned out to a friend.

From page 49:

If I don’t remember the moment I met Molly, I certainly remember, with cinematic clarity, the moment I met David. He was sitting with his back to me and turned around as I came into the room. I thought I’d never in my life seen so handsome a man.
