My book beginnings is taken from THE CONFECTIONER'S TALE by Laura Madeleine:
"The boy ran up the stairs of the metro, emerging into the quiet evening. It was earliest April, and cold enough still for his breath to mist in the air before him. For a moment, he listened to the bells of a church somewhere, striking ten o'clock."
