The rules are:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
- Be careful not to include spoilers
Share the title and author too so that other Teaser Tuesday participients can add the book on their TBR lists, if they like your teasers!

my favorite, now full-grown,my marriage bed, my kinsmen and my child,
and the lovely comradeship of women my own age.
Death never came, so now I can only waste away in tears.""
