Book Beginnings - 2/1/2019


*Please join Rose City Reader every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

My Book Beginnings is taken from WOMAN 99 by Greer MacCallister:
"Goldengrove devoured my sister every time I closed my eyes.  I saw the angle of her neck as she bobbed her head shyly, ducking it low, even though the high Moorish arch of the door soared far above her. The shift from day-bright sunshine to shrouded darkness as she passed inside."

    I am almost done...it is quite good.

    Historical fiction, women's fiction, and mystery all rolled into one.

    Thanks for stopping.

    What an intriguing first line. I am not sure what to make of it. My quotes from Where the Crawdads Sing

    That opening definitely grabs my attention. Attractive cover, too. Hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
    My Book Beginning is from Willa Cather's O Pioneers!
    Happy Friday!
