First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
The first time I ever saw one of them was the night that I saw my grandfather for the last time. It was a foggy night in Kensington, London. I was five and allowed to come downstairs to my parents’ annual Christmas party, on the condition that I kept quiet and made myself useful by handing out the devilled eggs.
Any ideas?
