Tuesday Teaser, 12 January – Cleopatra’s Daughter

It’s that time of week again for Should Be Reading’s fun meme Teaser Tuesdays.

So how does this work:

• Grab your current book
• 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!

Today’s teaser is from Cleopatra’s Daughter by Michelle Moran, which I won in a blog contest. I’m going to be a bit of a rule breaker today and give you all three sentences rather than two – I know, I’m such a rebel.

“I flipped through the pages and unfolded a loose sheaf. It was an image of Alexandria: her roads, her temples, the palaces that spread like the feathery wings of a heron across the Lochias Promontory. Charmion had taught me to pay attention to even the smallest details, and I had captured the sea foam as it broke against the Lighthouse, and the still faces of the marble caryatids that lined the Canopic Way.” Pg 42
