The Teaser
"I know all about being ashamed of a family member - the number of times I've wished my mother would act her age in public, if not private. It's horrible, being ashamed of someone you care about: it eats away at you. And if you let it get to you, if you give up the fight and surrender, eventually that shame turns to hate."
(p. 35, Lochan, 3 sentences)
I love the quiet introspective sensitivity that Lochan's narrative voice provides. Right where I am in the book, he remains to be seen as immature and rash, though that's sure to come soon.
Thanks to Random House Australia for sending this one along for review. :)
Hope you enjoy this week's Teaser Tuesday!
