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."

The opening makes me wonder where and when this book takes place. I'd keep reading to find out more. I like the comparison to a sack of potatoes!
