First Line Friday

First Line Friday | Week 212 | Every Word Unsaid by Kimberly Duffy

It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Every Word Unsaid by Kimberly Duffy, which is mostly set in India. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

Nothing brought Augusta Constance Travers more joy than slipping away. And nothing frustrated her more than the companion meant to keep her from doing so.

I’ve read both Kimberly Duffy’s previous books and they were excellent. I’m looking forward to reading Every Word Unsaid and “visiting” India.

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

About Every Word Unsaid

Augusta Travers has spent the last three years avoiding the stifling expectations of New York society and her family’s constant disappointment. As the nation’s most fearless–and reviled–columnist, Gussie travels the country with her Kodak camera and spins stories for women unable to leave hearth and home. But when her adventurous nature lands her in the middle of a scandal, an opportunity to leave America offers the perfect escape.

Arriving in India, she expects only a nice visit with childhood friends, siblings Catherine and Gabriel, and escapades that will further her career. Instead, she finds herself facing a plague epidemic, confusion over Gabriel’s sudden appeal, and the realization that what she wants from life is changing. But slowing down means facing all the hurts of her past that she’s long been trying to outrun. And that may be an undertaking too great even for her.
