Teaser Tuesday: Captivity

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week is from Captivity: a novel based on the true tale of the Fox Sisters, the family of enigmatic young women who, in upstate New York in 1848, proclaimed that they could converse with the dead. From page 10:


Already, in just these few days' time, she finds it hard to unravel the sounds she makes or imagines from those without - from her sister, from the earth or the air. It's like when you're rapt with your chores and hear a voice humming but only later, an instant later or an hour, recognize your own voice. Now's no time for the Devil to come calling.
