"Selden paused in surprise. In the afternoon rush of the Grand Central Station his eyes had been refreshed by the sight of Miss Lily Bart."
~"The House of Mirth" by Edith Wharton
I love these opening lines. The location is New York and there will some sort of romantic involvement. That's all I need to know.
I forgot how much I loved the opening of this book. I read it about a year ago for my book club, and really enjoyed it. I plan on reading more Edith Wharton in 2012.
