'Don't tell me,' said the taxi driver, rubber-necking at the formidable Victorian manor. 'Your mother's Norman Bates.'I've already read more than a hundred pages since I started this novel last night. Obviously, it pulled me in, and I've barely put it down (except to sleep) since I started. "A perfectly good family" this is NOT. In fact, it's even more dysfunctional than my family.
'My mother's dead,' I said. Harsh, but the information was so fresh for me, only two weeks old, that I was still repeating it to myself.
Gilion at Rose City Reader hosts Book Beginnings on Fridays. Click here for today's Mister Linky.
The cover and title both make me want to read this book, and so does the beginning. I'll order it.

I didn't get a chance to do a post, but I just finished THE FEVER TREE.
It is a beautiful, powerful, mesmerizing book.
