Teaser Tuesday: The Sisters Brothers
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading where you share a random snippet of your latest book.
My teaser from The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt:
"I awoke at dawn with a nagging pain in my head, not so much brandy-sickness as general fatigue, though the drinking had not helped the situation. I dunked my face in the water basin and brushed my teeth, standing beside an open window to feel the breeze against my skull. It was cool out but the air was enveloped in warmth; here was the first taste of spring, which brought me a satisfaction, a sense of rightness and organization. I crossed the room to check on Charlie's progress against the day, which I found to be poorer than my own." --- page 54
