First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros
is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To
participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read
based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.
Alice Lake lives in a house by the sea. It is a tiny house, a coast guard's cottage, built more than three hundred years ago for people much smaller than her. The ceilings slope and bulge and her fourteen-year-old son need to bow his head to get through the front door. They were all so little when she moved them her from London six years ago. Jasmine was ten. Kai was eight. And Romaine, the baby, was just four months old. She hadn't imagined that one day she'd have a gangling child of almost six feet. She hadn't imagined that they'd ever outgrow this place.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Ambrosia of The Purple Booker
"I think," he says, gazing into his tea, "that I have lost my memory. I mean" -he turns to her suddenly-"that makes sense, doesn't it? It's the only thing that makes sense. Because I don't know what my name is."

Both the first paragraph and the teaser sentence are quite intriguing. I'd read more. I'm glad you're continuing to do the First Chapter First Paragraph because I am too.
This sounds really good. I'd definitely keep reading this one.
Hi Nise,
I tend to only take part in 'Teaser Tuesday', as there is another similar meme to 'First Chapter...', called 'Book Beginnings On Friday', where I feaure my opening lines from a book.
It is good to be able to see both excerpts together though, especially when the book is this good! Although I have of course come across Lisa's name before, I have never read any of her books, but I really think I need to!
Thanks for sharing, especially those poignant teaser lines :)
