Teaser Tuesday 29 June: "Bliss" by Peter Carey

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along.  All you have to do is open the book you are currently reading to a page at random and share two sentences from that page.  Be careful not to include any spoilers and please share the title and author of the book so others can add it to their TBR list if they wish.


My teaser this week is from "Bliss" by Peter Carey an Australian writer:

"Pleased to meet you, Harry."  Billy de Vere placed a fistful of notes on the table.  "If you'll allow me," he said, "what will be your pleasure?"  p.63

  4. Great teaser! I've read this one - was in two minds about it at the time, but I still remember the story vividly today so that must mean something - enjoy!

  12. Thanks everyone for dropping by. The pleasure in this case is Grande Armagnac some sort of vintage brandy.

    Bliss is a strange tale to say the least. Hopefully I will get through it and have review up in a week or so :)
