What kind of woman has a saffron quilt on her bed? Wears a white linen dressing gown? Keeps beside her bed a stack of gardening books? Stores all her clothes in a shabby antique wardrobe, with a mirror built into its door? Who is she when she is in this room, alone and unobserved, and in what way does that differ from the person she is when she is in a restaurant with friends or in rehearsal or engaging with members of the public? Who, in short, is Molly Fox?
From Molly Fox’s Birthday by Deirdre Madden, pages 8-9

Teaser Tuesdays is a fun weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. I change the rules a little bit to suit my own purposes: I hand pick the teaser, rather than choose one randomly. I also very frequently post more than two sentences. :)
That is a wonderful teaser! Make me want to know more about Molly Fox :) Looking forward to reading your review of the book.
Yep, i am officially teased!
Off to go and get this title for sure!
Thanks so much! And can’t wait to check out more of your blog!
