It's Teaser Tuesday, a bookish blog meme hosted every week by MizB of
Should Be Reading. Here's how it
works:
Grab your current read and let it fall open to a random page (or if
you're reading on an electronic device, pick a random number and scroll to that
section). Post two or more sentences from that page, along with the book title
and author. Share your find with others in the comments at Should Be Reading,
and don't give anything vital away!
“Una often told herself that she was invisible. Perhaps that was the reason people
passed her in the halls, their eyes skimming over her slight form as if she
were part of the scenery: a desk, a book, a classroom, a girl. It could also be the reason why Ms.
McDonough, perched on her musty old pink chair, talked to her cats about Una as
though Una wasn’t there.”
