Teaser Tuesdays: The Distant Hours

This week my teaser lines come from Kate Morton's latest novel, The Distant Hours. I've been reading the book for a couple of weeks now, and loving it. This excerpt (a bit more than two lines, as usual - sorry) comes from page 55 of the ARC (page 42 of the published edition), and has our protagonist, Edie Burchill, thinking about her first visit to the mysterious Milderhurst Castle:

...although I'd stumbled upon the village of Milderhurst by accident, there was a rightness to my being there. I'd experienced the same sensation when I first read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre and Bleak House. As if the story were one I'd already known, that it confirmed something I'd always suspected about the world: that it had sat in my future all along, waiting for me to find it.

I guess you can tell that Edie is a rather bookish type. In fact, at one point she says that she'd like to conduct relationships only on paper. Well, I don't think I'm quite that far gone, but I can definitely understand the impulse.
