Teaser Tuesday

 

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser: 
 The Stone Angel by Margaret Lawrence

Page 12
“The Simmons family lived above the Funeral Parlor. Billy Simmons wasn’t anything to worry over, but Telford’s mamma was a pinch-face parsimonious shrew who would stand on the doorstep and hand Telford a cookie after school, but never had one to spar for any other child, and Telford, mortified, would chew dryly on it under her waiting eye.”

I chose this because it reminds me that I adore Margaret Lawrence for just that: her ability to explain a situation beautifully! I can just see Telford’s mamma, all pinch faced and looking disapprovingly at the other children.
