Christine falls by benjamin black5/9/2023 She had stayed in bed all morning, still tipsy, unable to sleep and crying half the time, a hankie crushed to her mouth to stifle the sobs. At the party the night before one of the medical students had found a flask of raw alcohol and mixed it with orange crush and she had drunk two glasses of it, and the inside of her mouth was still raw and there was something like a drum beating behind her forehead. She was glad it was the evening mailboat she was taking for she did not think she could have faced a morning departure. Browsing my bookshelves recently (physical not virtual) this book caught my eye. Although I’m in the middle of other books right now I like to think about what to read next, often changing my mind before settling down to read the next one. This week I’m featuring Christine Fallsby Benjamin Black. Every Tuesday First Chapter, First Paragraph/Intros is hosted by Vicky of I’d Rather Be at the Beach sharing the first paragraph or two of a book she’s reading or plans to read soon.
