Teaser Tuesday: Vinegar Hill - A. Manette Ansay

It seems like everyone's doin' it these days: the Teaser Tuesdays meme, that is. I'm not sure where I first saw this as I have come across a lot of really great book blogs lately. But anyway, here is how it works.

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!

I am currently reading Vinegar Hill by A. Manette Ansay. I just started reading it the other day and am only a few pages in. Here's the teaser:

 "Powdered milk is cheaper," Mary-Margaret says, looking at the milk jug. Her eyes are red behind her bifocals, and the veins in her forehead stand out in a pattern that reminds Ellen of stained glass (p. 40).

It's probably not the best most telling teaser for this novel, which is described as a "chilling" and "brilliant, bitter book."
