Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. And these are the rules: 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!I seem to be stuck in the 19th Century these days. This week my teasers come from page 280 of The Conjugial Angel, by A.S. Byatt, the second novella in her book Angels & Insects:
Then he lifted her from the ground, holding her against his shirt, laying his face gently against hers. His hands and skin spoke to her, he pulled like a magnet, he was strong as a tree, a tree in summer the poet in her head hummed, and she laid her own head on his shoulder, listening to their blood banging and leaping.Hmmmm. Sounds pretty steamy for the Victorians, doesn't it? But then it is A.S. Byatt, so I guess you have to expect a certain amount of "banging and leaping."
You could be stuck in worse places! I loved those two novellas.
ReplyDeleteOh this is good. A S Byatt is one of my favourites, but I haven't read this one.
ReplyDeleteI have never read A S Byatt, though I've heard much about him. This definitely sounds steamy!
