Today's quote is from the beginning of
Queen of the Underworld, a 2006 novel by Gail Godwin.
"Now I had graduated on this bright June Saturday in 1959 and few were the obstacles left between me and my getaway train to Miami -- obstacles that nevertheless must be cunningly surmounted."
This isn't particularly exciting, but the reason I got the book from the library still held: Gail Godwin is an excellent writer, and the book would probably draw me in.

Yeah, that beginning isn't particularly gripping, but hopefully it picks up.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
As you may remember, this one is on my TBR shelf and has been for quite a while. I look forward to hearing what you think of it and if I'll like it
