My Teaser:
"I have no excuse for my own tears. In the way of women my age, I increasingly count my blessings aloud, as though if other people acknowledge them they'll be enough: three wonderful children, a long and happy marriage, good home, pleasurable work. And if below the surface I sense that one child is poised to flee and another is miserable, that my husband and I trade public pleasantries and private minutiae, that my work depends on the labor of men who think I'm cheating them-none of that is to be dwelled on."
from Every Last One by Anna Quindlen (p.83)

ReplyDeleteI have no excuse for my own tears, this sentence could be by me:DVery personal and kind of desperate teaser.
ReplyDeleteI've read excellent reviews of this book but not got round to reading it yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser and a nice reminder.
Wow, that's pretty deep! I have yet to read a Quindlen book and I've heard good things about this one! Thanks for visiting my teaser!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great teaser. I tried to read this book awhile back and just couldn't get into it. I hope that you're enjoying it. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying this one. It was not a favorite for me.
ReplyDeleteInteresting teaser. I've tried to read Anna Quindlen several times, but her books are just a little too intense for me. But this one has certainly had great reviews - hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDelete"The port's strategic location had served the British military. Now its duty-free status made it the place to both shop and find one's next ship. Aden was gateway to Africa; from Africa it was gateway to Europe. To Sister Mary Joseph Praise it looked like the gateway to hell." from CUTTING FOR STONE, by Abraham Verghese.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally loving this book -- beautifully written.
