Teaser Tuesday: The Brothers of Gwynedd by Edith Pargeter

Sorry for the radio silence this week so far. I have a house guest and so have been busy, busy, busy. I have also been starting to get some of the entries up at Australian Book Blogger Directory! Need to spend some time catching up on blog hopping later this week!

My teaser this week comes from The Brothers of Gwynedd by Edith Pargeter. I have teased from the first part, Sunrise in the West, a couple of times at the beginning of May, and now this teaser comes from the second part,  The Dragon at Noonday. I am taking four sentences from page 360:

As for thinking of what I had left behind me, or of what I had to tell, I thought not at all. I could not. Everything I had seen, and suffered, and done, was live within me, and I so full of it there was no room for thought. I lived and acted, and that was all.

Teaser Tuesday is host by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

  7. You too Midnight Sapphire Books!

    Audreyscountrycrafts, it could just be that it is such a big book that it is taking everyone a long time to read it!

    Jan, it wasn't a good moment, that's for sure.

    Thanks for stopping by Amy.

    Jacinta, I have really enjoyed this second part. Struggled a bit with the first part, but now I think I have the rhythm.

    Sullivan McPig, it was pretty well balanced really!

  18. Interesting teaser! Any stories about Llewelyn the Last always remind me of the Madeleine l'Engle book "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," bc of the time-travel back to Wales' past.

  26. There is a quote I read in a book once, don't remember where ... but I've always remembered it. "If I felt less, I could have said more."

    That seems to be the feeling your teaser is trying to convey. Nice!

    Mine's here.
