TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:1. Grab your current read.
2. Let the book fall open to a random page.
3. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. 4. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
5. Please avoid spoilers!
My 2 “Teaser” Sentences for today:
"'How many wives did your dad actually have?'
'I don't know, twenty-five-ish. But they never tell you that. I think it's a way to keep everything confused. . . '“
~ p.304, “The 19th Wife” by David Ebershoff
Product Description from Amazon:
Faith, I tell them, is a mystery, elusive to many, and never easy to explain.Sweeping and lyrical, spellbinding and unforgettable, David Ebershoff’s The 19th Wife combines epic historical fiction with a modern murder mystery to create a brilliant novel of literary suspense. It is 1875, and Ann Eliza Young has recently separated from her powerful husband, Brigham Young, prophet and leader of the Mormon Church. Expelled and an outcast, Ann Eliza embarks on a crusade to end polygamy in the United States. A rich account of a family’s polygamous history is revealed, including how a young woman became a plural wife.Soon after Ann Eliza’s story begins, a second exquisite narrative unfolds–a tale of murder involving a polygamist family in present-day Utah. Jordan Scott, a young man who was thrown out of his fundamentalist sect years earlier, must reenter the world that cast him aside in order to discover the truth behind his father’s death.And as Ann Eliza’s narrative intertwines with that of Jordan’s search, readers are pulled deeper into the mysteries of love and faith.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
I haven't read this. Great teaser!
I've been wanting to read this book!
Ooh! Interesting.
Thanks for stopping by. I was told by another Winvista user that you have to allow the computer to turn on the ActiveX function. I have a mac so I don't understand such things.
Sounds like a very interesting book. Good teaser!
Great teaser but wow, what a mixed-up life that must be. "twenty-five-ish", ... Can't imagine my husband putting up with 25 like me! ;)
Good teaser. This book is on my tbr list.
My teaser this week is from the same book! I'm really enjoying it so far.

You may have picked the most perfect teaser today.

I've heard a lot of good things about this book. Hope you're enjoying it.
Thanks for visiting my Teaser. I liked yours as well. For some reason I thought this book was non-fiction - now that I see that it is fiction I have a bit more interest in checking it out. Thanks!
Interesting teaser, I think I may have to look into this book. :)
I love Georgette Heyer even though this is only the third book of hers that I am reading on my crowded reading list!
Thanks for stopping by!
