Teaser Tuesday [39] - Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson

 Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • 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... Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
"She stands on the cliffs, near the old crumbling stone house.

There's nothing left in the house but an upturned table, a ladle, and a clay bowl. She stands for more than an hour, goose-bumped and shivering. At these times, she won't confide in me. She runs her hands over her body, as if checking that it's still there, her heart pulsing and beating. The limbs are smooth and strong, thin and sinewy, her hair long and black and messy and gleaming despite her age. You wouldn't know it to look at her, that she's live long enough to look for what's across the water. Eighty years later, and she is still fifteen.

  1. Great first page! I'm intrigued. I was just thinking about how much I miss and loved being 13 but I wouldn't want to be 13 for 80 years! I wouldn't mind being 21 for 80 years though LOL
