Fair warning, the beginning is a little slow. But it picks up before long and then you won’t want to put it down.

First Lines Fridays: October 26, 2018
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
First Lines:
When we got the letter in the post, my mother was ecstatic. She had already decided that all our problems were solved, gone forever.
