Friday Focus: The Friday 56 & Book Beginnings #77

16
It's Friday . . . time to share excerpts book excerpts with:
  • Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.  
  • The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.
Today I'm featuring:
Where or When 
 
 
BeginningI remember everything.  A kiss at the nape of the neck.
 
********************* 
Page 57 (Page 56 is blank):  "The envelope with my name on it was the color of thick cream; the ink was a dark navy.  My name had been written in a beautiful hand, strong and large and steady.  Simple, not pretentious."
*********************   

From GoodreadsWhat would you do if out of the blue, you received a letter from your first love? Siân Richards sees no reason why she can't write back to Charles Callahan. After all, it's been thirty years and they are both married with families. But when they decide to meet again, an innocent correspondence becomes a dangerous intimacy. Swept up in the past and consumed by an obsessive love, Charles and Siân risk everything to be together. A heart-wrenching, suspenseful story with an unforgettable conclusion, Where or When is also a 'thoughtful, beautifully written contemporary romance' (The Washington Post).
