Teaser Tuesdays
Teaser Tuesdays: In Paradise
Here's the teaser for this week:
"The cold of winter afternoon falls quickly. Toward twilight, as the witness bearers straggle back toward the town, a weak sun, smoggy red, sinks behind the cropped misshapen trees along the road. A woman murmurs that a faint odor of burning flesh still lingers here a half century later, and someone else recalls her mother's account of a woman who had smelled her fate while approaching Oswiecim in the cattle cars." --page 61-----In Paradise by Peter Matthiessen
A heavy teaser today...but they can't all be light and fluffy.
Happy reading!
Sounds grim. I hope you're enjoying the story.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from KEEPING FAITH.
It's been a slow one to get into, but I'm plugging along. Thanks for stopping by, Sandra!
DeleteWow, yeah, heavy is a good description. But given the subject matter, I'm not surprised. The strong, vivid imagery is really striking so as a tease; good pick. My Teaser.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) It is a subject that's right up my ally, so I'm used to stuff like that. Thanks for stopping by!
