Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted at The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along by doing the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
“Any man in love with Cesare is already half in love with his sister. Now, when [Pedro Calderon] shuts his eyes, he cannot see anything else.”
( ~ Blood & Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant, Kindle Edition, 2013)
[Sarah Dunant is a well-known author of historical fiction and whose portraits of the Italian Renaissance are at the same time compelling and accurate. I don’t always agree with her views -not in the case of Cesare Borgia, for example -but I always enjoy her luscious writing. For a review of this book by The Guardian, see this.]
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays’ post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here and/or in The Purple Booker.
This one sounds amazing:). I do love that quote.
Intriguing, isn’t it? The book is really worth a reading!
