The rules:
• 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!
This week's teaser is from a YA Hamlet retelling – Simon by Michael Mullin:
Synopsis:
His father is dead. His
mother has remarried. His uncle is . . . his new stepfather? When the
ghost of Simon Elsinore's father returns and claims he was murdered by
his own brother, the nineteen-year-old film student must determine what
is true and exact the revenge his father demands.
My Teaser:
'He [Simon] is compelled, not by others, but by some force within, to sit in the front and watch the two ceremonies – funeral and wedding – occur simultaneously. Not intertwined, but one atop the other, grotesquely and unnaturally occupying the same space, connected in sight alone, like a rapist and his victim.'
