"Her day began with reassuring rituals. Make the beds, start a load of laundry, empty the dishwasher. After lining up shiny crystal tumblers inside the glass-fronted cabinets, she filled the upper shelves with neatly nested plates, bowls, and cups. Her finger found a chipped edge, and she tossed the imperfect saucer into the garbage."

Sounds interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't heard of the book before. This week I am featuring Scandal Above Stairs by Jennifer Ashley. Happy reading!

I like the beginning. I can understand the need for the morning ritual and the dislike of chipped china/crystal.
