Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros sharing the first paragraph, maybe two, of a book that I'm reading or plan to read soon.
Never Coming Back; Alison McGhee
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2017
"Now that my mother was disappearing, I wondered when it began to happen. A few months before her neighbor called to tell me something was wrong, or maybe years ago, when I was in my nomadic twenties and home only once or twice a year? Or did something inside her change in a single moment? Quit working? Decide enough was enough?
Hard to say. Hard to know."
Does this intro make you curious for more?
