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.
I 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.
I’ve got this one on my wish list – sounds like a wonderful read. Love the teaser!
Here’s mine.
