First Line Fridays


Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  Mr. Gardiner and the Governess
by Sally Britton


And the first line is...

May 1818

"For most of Alice Sharpe's life, her relatives passed her from one home to another, the same way one might pass an unwanted family heirloom with little more value than sentiment."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

  1. Happy Friday! 🙂
    Today I'm sharing the first line from Julie Klassen's novella, An Ivy Hill Christmas: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/12/04/first-line-friday-164/. It's a great story. I highly recommend it. Currently, though, I'm reading To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette, so I'll share a line from there:
    "Ronen had changed, although it had taken me no more than a few moments to recognize him when he'd arrived."
    Hope you have an excellent weekend! 🙂❤📚

    Over on my blog I am sharing the first line from Fortune's Fall by Katherine Barger.
    "The buzzer's ear-splitting wail pierces the silent auditorium."

  3. My first line comes from Linda Thompson’s new book: The Mulberry Leaf Whispers:
    Saturday April 18, 1942 Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan
    Sub-Lieutenant Matsuura Akira paced the open bridge of Nitto Maru. He had drawn the watch, as usual.
