Book beginning:
The cherry trees were the first thing I saw when I woke up. The spring had been warm and now the trees were blossoming with fluffy, fragrant bunches of flowers. Antti always wanted to sleep with the curtains open so we could see the curled branches against the night sky. It made it hard for me to sleep, but I had gradually gotten used to it.
Page 56:

ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday post.
Sounds like a page turner!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've never read a book set in Finland. Is the author Finnish. Are you learning Finnish words and cultural information along the way? That would be awesome. My Friday quotes come from the book SAVING MY ENEMY
ReplyDeleteI like reading mysteries set in other countries than my own. I don't know if I've read one set in Finland yet. I hope you are enjoying Her Enemy. Have a great weekend, Harvee.
