Teaser Tuesdays - Return to Sender

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.


 
TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!

Yes, I'm still in the same book as last week.  I wish I could read faster, but I read children's books in between, so I guess it's okay.  Here is my teaser:
 
"Well, dear, that's not something you normally ask ladies to disclose.  But I'm your grandma so you can ask me." - Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez, p. 208

This week's teaser is from Return to Sender by Julia Alvarez:

It reminded me of the priest ringing the independence bell in Mexico to wake up the people to freedom.  But since we feared it was la migra, this ringing was more the sound of the end of our family's freedom. (p. 101)

What are you reading this week?  Care to tease us?
