The Friday 56 - One Day By David Nicholls

-
The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda over at Freda's Voice. The rules are simple:

*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence that grabs you. (I cheat sometimes and put a little more than a sentence!)
*Post it.
*Add your post URL to the Link.


Ok...so my first Friday 56 was taken from the novel One Day, By David Nicholls which I read over the Christmas break!

"These days she drank white wine, wore neat little suits from Jigsaw and handed out Kettle Chips at dinner parties." (p.56)
