Book Beginnings (20 March)

Book Beginnings is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.  Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.

We Go Again
My Book Beginning is from Michael Cargill's We Go Again:

"'The thing that you Dunkirk veterans don't seem to realise,' Captain Jones began explaining to the rest of his squad, 'is that you're not actually veterans of anything at all; all you did was run away when the going got tough.'"

  1. This sounds like a tough read but an interesting one. Captain Jones doesn't sound like anyone I'd want to mess with.

      Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's topic is books I can read in one sitting.
