Oops! My Teaser Tuesday post popped up on Monday. I can only blame user error.
ReplyDeleteIt is now going to disappear until tomorrow.
Michelle -- thanks for the note and your teaser! Your comment will come back tomorrow too.
Great teaser! Maud sounds like such a typical Brookner type, with her "slightly disdainful" face. Love her books.
