Teaser Tuesday - Oct 29



Teaser Tuesday

The rules are:
  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) 'teaser' sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title and author of the book that you’re getting your 'teaser' from .. that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given!

A conscript grumbling about army food in a last (I hope! 600+ pages and nearing the end!) teaser from C J Sansom's Heartstone.

I looked to where two of the fat grey birds sat on a branch. 'A far different scene from the stinks of London,' Dyrick observed.
More from our current book-group read - C J Sansom's Heartstone. Getting nearer the nub...
