Just quote a couple of spoiler-free sentences the book you’re reading to tempt other readers.
Here is mine:-
“Among the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, that of blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, been sufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, who has been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to know that there is a satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise of pink jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges, and that the tedium of life can reach a pitch where plum buns at discretion cease to offer the slightest enticement?”

I am visiting Brigford with my uncle. He is a butler at the great house. We have seen the most wonderful shop, and now I am quite certain that I must become a confectioner. Confectionery is so beutiful to behold and provides the very best of eating. Confectioners must be the happiest and the foremost of men.

I have had a George Eliot book here for ages and ages. One day I will read it.
Thanks for the tease.
Mine is here!
I like this! I read it a long time back!
Tuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts
Yum!! This one sounds unique!!
How beautifully written. I can just see all the goodies in the shop. Hope you are enjoying the book.
I think I’m going to start saying “plum buns” at random times and see what kind of reaction I get.
Mmm. Make me want to try my first George Eliot book!
That sounds lovely…and delicious!
Wonderful teaser! And a bit of an obscure book, isn’t it? But all that confectionery sounds soooo tasty! Actually, even the salt pork and yeast dumplings sound pretty good right now – it’s been a long time since lunch!
Wonderful! Reminded me of this place whose shelved featured in a gorgeous double page spread in last week’s Guardian
Sounds lovely! I haven’t heard of this Eliot before.
Interesting!!!
