Lian hears the wind in the trees outside and the creak of the house as its timbers contract in the cool night.-- The Evolution of Shadows by Jason Quinn Malott. This is a novel about the Bosnian war, so it is pretty intense.
A Few More Pages hosts Book Beginnings every Friday. The event is open for the entire week.
That is a sentence that really draws you in, and it seems very much in keeping with the intense tone you allude to.
ReplyDeleteVery descriptive beginning!
