First Chapter First paragraph

"I lost my only sister in the last days of November. It's a rotten time to lose someone, when all the world is dying too and darkness comes on earlier, and when the chill rains fall it seems the very sky is weeping. Not that there's ever a good time to lose your best friend, but it seemed somehow harder to sit there and watch in that hospital room, with the white-coated specialists coming and going, and see only grey clouds beyond the hard windows that offered no warmth and no hope."

  1. This intro does sound gloomy to start with. I've read other books by Kearsley and have enjoyed them. I hope you enjoy this one.

  2. Certainly an intro which makes you think 'What's happened there.'. I would continue.

  3. I've only read one book by this author and I loved it. I want to read everything by her now! This one does sound good.
