The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda’s Voice and the rules are simple:

• Grab a book, any book (I, personally, prefer to use my current read.)
• Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that’s ok.)
• Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
• Post it

Elske by Cynthia Voigt
(Tales of the Kingdom, book 4)

It seemed to her that, except to marry, the women of Trastad feared men, except for their fathers, and brothers; and the fathers, brothers and husbands mistrusted all other men.
