Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
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
I'm reading A Mercy by Toni Morrison. This beautifully written novel with multiple voices is set in the 1680s America. My teaser is from p. 46. Lina, a Native American servant in an Anglo-Dutch household, is puzzled when a blacksmith, a free man of African descent, arrives to the farm and looks her mistress straight in the eyes.
"An unfanthomable puzzle. Europes could calmly cut mothers down, blast old men in the face with muskets louder than moose calls, but were enraged if a not-Europe looked Europe in the eye. On the one hand they would torch your homes; on the other they would feed, nurse and bless you."
Today is Finland's Indenpendence Day. It's 94 years since Finland's Declaration of Independence. Happy birthday to my lovely country! :)
