Teaser Tuesdays -- England's Health Care System After WWII

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

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

  2. She was whispering in Russian. I lay in my bed and did not know if I was more terrified by the dream or by my mother's whispers.

  3. Those are both compelling teasers.. And as long as I'm back here, I'll go ahead and do one from the book I'm reading now:

    "As we pull away, they cross the street to hail another bus, heading back into Saigon. Madame pats me on the shoulder and takes her seat, clearly as shaken as I am."
