This week my teaser comes from The Count of Monte Cristo, Signet Classic Abridged Edition. In this scene Dantes, disguised as a clergyman, has just learned the fate of his lover, Mercedes. From page 131:
"Well, that made eighteen months in all," said the abbe with a bitter smile. "What more could the most adored lover ask?" Then he murmured the words of the English poet: "Frailty, thy name is woman!"
One of the best books I read! Dumas is a great story teller!
ReplyDeleteTeaser Tuesday: the Language of Trees by Ilie Ruby
I think I need to read this one. Enjoy!

Great teaser :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I think of this novel I think of the movie Sleepers with Brad Pitt and Jason Patrick.
ReplyDeleteI really need to read this one and see what all the fuss is about :) Hope you're enjoying it!
My TEASER TUESDAY is from my current read of The Countess and the King by Susan Holloway Scott.
I saw this film and it was okay, but not sure I would be into the book.

I've never read this book or seen the movie. I never paid much attention so I don't even really know what it is about!
ReplyDeleteHave loved Dumas since the summer my grandfather gave me "The Three Musketeers". "The Count Of Monte Cristo" with its revenge theme took longer to grow on me, but now it is one of my favourite classics, both exciting and moving.
ReplyDeleteI've never read the book, but saw the movie, but didn't care for it, however, it is my daughters favorite movie. So go figure, the saying.. like mother, like daughter, doesn't apply in this case. ; )
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser, Jenny - and yet another book I've been meaning to read. It taunts me from the TBR classics shelf.
ReplyDeleteThis is a classic and it never fails to amaze me. A great book and the teaser is relevant to the feel of the plot. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI don't like him or the guy he's quoting. Entirely too true to their times.
