"He was as much a stranger up here now as any tourist might be, and yet gazing back at the sun-sliced bay, he noted how familiar it felt; he had not expected that. The salt air filled his nose, the wild rugosa bushes with their white blossoms brought him a vague confusion; a sense of sad ignorance seemed cloaked in their benign white petals." (page 31)
I loved this book... and remember exactly which story your teaser comes from!
ReplyDeleteThat feeling of familiarity can be a comfort at times
ReplyDeleteI have two teasers this week!
Nice teaser! Nice imagery!
ReplyDeleteMy TT is here.
Love the teaser. Will have to look for the book. My teaser is from Naamah's Curse by Jacqueline Carey.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Hope you will check out my teaser on My Blog too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm yet to read Olive Kitteridge, but your teaser surely makes me get to it rather sooner than later.
