Thanks for joining me today for Book Beginnings. Join in if you like, just grab the book your are reading or want to ready. Jot down the first line or two and give us your feelings about the book. That’s all there is to it. Link up at the Book Beginnings party hosted by Rose City Reader and let the fun begin!
My book today is “Milk Glass Moon” by Adriana Trigiani and it is the 3rd installment in the “Big Stone Gap” series. Here are the first lines:
“The Wise County Fair is my daughter’s favorite event of the year, and I think it’s safe to say that includes Christmas. Etta has been on her best behavior for the past two weeks, so perfect down to the smallest detail including unassigned chores like making my bed and weeding my garden) that I’m worried.”
I love this series and this author. Her characters are so real that you think you might be reading about your neighbor down the street or even a relative. These are people I would love to meet in real life.
From the first book to the last, Ave Marie seems like she has changed so much, but deep down she is the same scared and vulnerable “strong” woman that we met in the beginning.
I hope you gives these books a try. Ms. Trigiani’s writing is among the best I have read.
