"WE HAVE NO photographs of our early days. Danny and I. A six month gap yawns in the Mayes family album after we were born. No first-day-at-school pictures for Edwin, no means of telling which of us two looked more like him at the beginning. An empty double page marks the overwhelming grief that followed our arrival."
What do you think? Curious enough to read more?
Yes, I'd continue. I've heard good reports about this book, though the cover is a little 'light' on suspense. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kay, that cover leaves a lot to be desired LOL
