SAME AS LAST WEEK....A BIT SLOW IN THE READING DEPARTMENT!!
***************
My book beginnings is taken from THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE by Jessica Shattuck:
"The entire cart ride from the train station to Burg Lingenfels, Benita lay on the musty hay bales in a half stupor, no longer caring what she looked like: a slut or a vagabond reclining in the open air, making her way across the country with all the dignity of a sack of potatoes."
