“I saw the priest take note of the time. What time was it? Then I felt his finger on my forehead. And I realized, whatever time it was, that it was the last moment of my life as an Episcopalian.”

“When you got back to his apartment, the flamenco dancers were still stomping around in the restaurant upstairs. Moriarity pushed a bottle of cheap Sauterne and sliced salami across the kitchen table. A large cockroach fell from the top of the refrigerator and landed with a click on the scarred linoleum floor. You lifted both your feet and curled your toes.”

Hi Lorena,My latest book, Gozo Is the Grass Greener has just been released.
Check it out here on Goodreads;
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Or visit my blogsite;
www.gozoisthegrassgreener.blogspot.com
Gozo is one of the Maltese islands and currently very popular and topical due to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt making a movie there!
Many thanks Lorena -
All the best
Freya
Thank you Lorena for your friendship. I look forward to reading your reviews. Pleasure to meet you, I look forward to discussing books and much more! Happy reading Lorena! ~Melinda
Thanks for adding me, Lorena. I like your goal, although I have to admit I set aside Don Quixote earlier this year to focus on some other books and, um, haven't returned to it yet. Don't worry, I haven't given up or anything! But your picaresque project might be the thing that helps motivate me to get back to it :)
