Every Saturday morning, I’ll share the first lines (or better yet, the first paragraph or first round idea) of a book I’m currently reading.
Here are the first lines of Where There Was Fire, by John Manuel Arias:
“Some still talk about how hot that night was. Old women wisper it over coffee. They’re just as old as their husbands debating over checkers outisde.
Even a tow truck driver named Luis, born that night, has been told about the malignancy of the heat, it’s teeth… He says that if his mother hadn’t known any better, she would have sworn she had just given birth to the Antichrist.”
Join me in the trend, grab the nearest book, and share the first lines in the comments with us. Or share the first line of a book you’ve recently reviewed and link to the post!
