Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.
My teasers this week are from The Wilderness by Samantha Harvey.
"Dogged by these uncertainties, willing her ghost to come, he rid the house of milk, knowing Helen's near phobia of it. For months he settled for black coffee and found himself remembering those days, so far back - before Alice's birth - when she did drink it, when she loved it, when her freckled skin itself was like cream dusted with cinnamon, when she would tell him his eyes were washed with milk, and when she loved the cherry blossom that curdled on the branches." (page 35)
I love the wording in that quote...'cherry blossom that curdled on the branches' is so perfect! It's exactly right. Great teaser!
