Book Beginnings

July 17, 2014 by pictureperfectcooking

“As the wind blows through our bedroom window, it sounds like a whistling teakettle.  As I wake, for a split second, I forget where I am.  As soon as I see our suitcases piled next to the closet door, in the exact place where we dropped them, I remember.  Etta’s wedding, though it was just one week ago, already seems like a faraway dream.”

This is the first paragraph from “Return To Big Stone Gap” by Adriana Trigiani and it is the final book in The Big Stone Gap series.  I am actually re-reading these books and I don’t do that very often.  That shows just how much I enjoy Ms. Trigiani’s characters and stories.  The people in her books are real.  They have flaws and problems, but they also have so much love for each other.  I highly recommend this series and any other books by this author.

Thanks for joining me today for Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader.

    I think I read three books in the series and got tired of them so never went on and read this, the fourth. Now I know I shouldn’t have abandoned the series so quickly.

    I’ve never heard of this series or the author but I really like the sound of the beginning. There is something quite urgent about it. I always know that when I end up rereading a book that I really like it! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend!

    Interesting beginning. I’m wondering why they left their suitcases by the door for a whole week. Are they planning to leave again soon?
    Here’s the link to my Friday post: MURDER ON ASTOR PLACE.

      I think they were a little down and out after their travels.

    Love it when a book has you re-reading them 😉 I haven’t heard of this author before but I loved the little snippet.
