Each week TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
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 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!
Please avoid spoilers!
From page 138 of THE GUERNSEY LITERARY and POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY:
When Kit was born, Elizabeth kept her paternity a secret from the authorities. Not out of shame, but because she was afraid that the baby would be taken from her and sent to Germany to be raised.This from a fellow Guernsey islander explaining the fear for a child born during the Occupation.
Wow, that one pulls you right into wanting to know more. :)
ReplyDeleteConsider me teased, now I really want this book!
ReplyDeleteIt's got my interest now! And what a curious title, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser - and not something I've ever considered before, but I'll bet there are some people who purposely left off information from birth certificates. . .
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser!
