I loved this book...I thought it did a marvelous job of evoking the rural South.
Now that's a line that makes you want to read more!
Hurrah - have you started reading it?
Jill, it instantly transports you there, doesn't it?
Danielle, it's a fantastic opener! I was hooked.
Verity, just!
What a brilliant line... slightly freaky but brilliant, has certainly made me want to read it!
Simon, I suspect it is very much an example of Southern Gothic that you were seeking out recently. It definitely gripped my attention from the outset - fabulous opening line.
Definitely tantalising! Sigh! Just another book to add to my growing wishlist.
The best Tuesday teaser I've ever seen! I really want to read this now! I look forward to reading your review!
Mrs. B, did you know it was also a Virago? I fully intend to immerse myself in this later today.
Jackie, I love your enthusiasm! Your comment made me laugh. It is one of the most intriguing opening lines that I have read for some time and one that I had to share.
I have to read it!
