I am driving my van through Paris. The weather is terrible and I am caught up in the school run, but I have several boxes of second hand books on board and I really must get them back to my shop. A small girl has just run out in front of me. I am slamming on my brakes but I am skidding and I can’t avoid her.
It’s Tuesday, where are you? is hosted by raidergirl3.
Just quote a couple of spoiler-free sentences the book you’re reading to tempt other readers.
Here is mine:-
“That evening road sufaces are slippery,vehicles whip up great sprays of water, windscreen wipers work overtime. Éva is still running along the side road parallel to the avenue, stumbling, bumping into people and metal or concrete barriers, grazing a knee.”

Eva’s going to look a mess when she gets where she’s going! Good teaser.
That’s a heart thumper start. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds interesting. My post is up!
Sounds like poor Eva’s been running for quite a while. And in the rain, too! Very intriguing teasers.
Oh no…! Your post combinations made me gasp.
Followed the link; both Pierre Péju books sound like wonderful reads.

Folowed the link; both Pierre Péju books sound like wonderful reads.
Wow!! Poor you/Eva. Sounds like a seriously bad day! Great teaser and where are you.
Eva’s day is about to get worse, right?
On a lighter note, here’s mine

Eva sounds like me, because I am always stumbling and bumping into things. No really, I fall all the time 🙂
Cute teaser!
I wonder what Eva is running from – or to? Sounds exciting!
Great teaser and Where Are You? Certainly makes me wonder about why Eva is running!

Interesting, where is Eva going? Mine is here, http://zetor-mogsblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/teaser-tuesday_17.html from ‘The Brutal Art’ by Jesse Kellerman.
Ouch! Poor Eva. I hope she doesn’t get hurt.
My teaser is here.
What an excellent teaser! You have all of us wanting to know more about this book. Hope you are having a great day.
It sounds like she is in a hurry! Good teaser…thanks for stopping at my blog today.
I need to know what happens next!!! Great teaser and Where are you post!
Great teaser! I had never heard of the “Where Are You” meme, but now I’m very interested. These were both excellent.
Here’s mine.
That is great. It such an active passage. 🙂 And what a great title. I’ll have to check it out.
Well the book sounds intriguing but before I add it to my pile I am curious how you like it, especially since it is a translation – sometimes that makes the original not so great.
Having just driven home in a snow storm I can certainly relate to the slippery roads in your teaser!
Right now I’m in the Salvation Mission in Bonnie Kozek’s Threshold. It’s a hard-boiled thriller that’s a serious page-turner — very dark and edgy, at the same time as it celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
