Welcome to First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Yvonne @ Socrates Book ReviewsEach week readers post the first paragraph (or 2) of a book we are reading or plan to read soon.  This one comes from my (20) Books of Summer list.

Tin Camp Road; Ellen Airgood
Riverhead Books - 2021

One

Laurel Hill knew that a part of her would die if she ever had to leave Lake Superior.  Its lapping was a heartbeat, one connected to her own.  Without the sight and sound of it landing onshore and departing again, the turning of the water as constant as the earth's orbit, her soul would fade and tear, a sheet left on on the line too long.

What do you think read more or pass?

  7. An absolute grabber first sentence for me personally. I think often these days about what it will mean when we have to leave this house in the wilds of the Adirondacks. So, whatever the scenario here, I'm very curious, and will investigate this book. Thanks! Enjoy...

    1. Oh yes, Judith, I can see how many people might feel like that about a home/locale that has been special for them.

  8. hmm she's really connected to Lake Superior. So I'm a bit curious on why she thinks she has to leave or if she is being forced ... for some reason.
