First Lines Friday – 7th January 2021

Happy Friday!!!! Welcome back to my first “First Lines Fridays” of 2022!!!

For those of you who are new to to this, First Lines Fridays is a weekly meme that is hosted by Wondering Words. It’s a very quick and simple meme all you have to do is:

Choose a book from your shelves/current read, open the book to the first page, copy the first line or two on the page making sure you don’t give away the book title and then reveal the book.

FIRST LINES:

“It would be inaccurate to say that my childhood was normal before they came. It was far from normal, but it felt normal because it was all I’d known. It’s only now, with decades of hindsight, that I can see how odd it was.”

Do you recognise which book these lines come from?

This weeks book is…

Synopsis/Blurb (taken from Goodreads):

“In a large house in London’s fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up.

In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note.

They’ve been dead for several days.

Who has been looking after the baby?

And where did they go?”
