Sounds like an interesting read.
This is the first time I am participating in this meme -it's been fun seeing how different books start!
Have a good weekend!
What was closer I wonder???

oooh...intriguing! 'Fate' has popped up a few times this Friday 56 :)
Love this snippet! It is lyrical and has shades of unease, which work together quite well. I'm over from A to Z (Catherine Stine's Idea City). Cheers!
