Teaser Tuesday: Hannah (Daughters of the Sea)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current read.
2. Open to a random page.
3. Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
4. 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!).
5. Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


My Teaser:

Mr. Wheeler coughed slightly. 'Lila, as a painter it is my job to create a palette that tells the truth about the subjects of the paintings, that reflects the deeper currents running through their natures. At the same time, I must create a balance in the tonalities despite your and your sisters' individual characteristics.'
Lila sighed, and then began to speak in a flirtatious, almost chirpy voice. 'Well, I hope with all this talk of balance and tonalities, it will be flattering.'
'I don't flatter. I only tell the truth," Mr. Wheeler said quietly. He slid his eyes toward Hannah. - pg. 144, Hannah (Daughters Of The Sea) by Kathryn Lasky
