Well, since I'm still reading the same books I was reading last week (I've been very lazy lately), my teaser lines for this week come from a book I haven't actually started yet – Colm Toibin's Brooklyn. The quote is from page 120; and I'm not exactly sure who all the characters are or how they relate to one another, but they're discussing a trip from Brooklyn to the Emerald City of Manhattan:"Fifth Avenue is the most heavenly place," Patty said. "I'd give anything to live there. I'd love to marry a rich man with a mansion on Fifth Avenue."Right. Well, with today's financial crisis, she probably wouldn't have much trouble finding a poor man with a mansion in Manhattan right now.
"Or even a poor man," Diana said, "as long as he had a mansion."

ReplyDeleteThis is supposed to be such a good book as it was a finalist for the Booker Prize.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I would love to just visit Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! She'd have to clean that mansion herself, she may want to rethink.
ReplyDeleteThis book is on my to-read list. I love books about New York.
ReplyDeleteLoved that teaser!!! I wouldn't want to get used to that mansion though because if he's poor I'm sure we'd be evicted in time!! LOL!!
