Each Tuesday, Vicki, from I’d Rather Be At The Beach hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros where readers post the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book that they are reading or plan to read.
Kinship of Clover; Ellen Meeropol
Red Hen Press - 2017
Chapter One
"The first time Jeremy saw the plants go crazy was at the cat's funeral, held in the family greenhouse crowded with teas and herbs and medicine-plants growing in pots and flats, their vines spiraling up wooden stakes against the walls. The air was earthy and moist and candles--dozens of them, hundreds maybe--shimmered and the plants danced in the flickering."
What are your thoughts on this intro? I can't wait to begin this one. The reviews seem very positive.
Oh, this sounds promising! Just read the following praise from one of my favorite authors:
ReplyDelete“Ellen Meeropol has an uncanny knack for examining the big topics of our contemporary world and putting a human face on them. In Kinship of Clover, she does this with intelligence and a big generous heart. An important book by a unique writer, it’s a must read.” ―Ann Hood, The Knitting Circle
I'm sold!
