Teaser Tuesday - Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis

I found this book at a Christian bookshop in Ochanomizu. It's quite expensive (compared to the other books I've bought since I've came here anyway), but I can't resist C.S. Lewis! Especially since I haven't read this before. So, here's today's teaser:


"And because it was so beautiful, it set me longing, always longing. Somewhere else there must be more if it. Everything seemed to be saying, Pysche come! But I couldn't (not yet) come and I didn't know where I was to come to. It almost hurt me." (page 74)


I know it's more than 2 sentences, but I couldn't stop at two! (plus, it wouldn't have made sense).

What are your teasers?

    That's a lovely teaser. I've not read any of CS. Lewis's adult stuff. Here's mine: Small Blonde Hippy

    I had to read this book for one of my university English classes and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. Thanks for sharing this teaser and reminding me it's been too long since I did a reread. I hope you enjoy it.

    I hope you'll stop by to check out my teaser.

    I haven't read this one, but I definitely like your teaser. Just the rhythm of the words makes me want to read more!
    My teaser this week is from The Lie.

      Hey! I'm sorry, but I can't seem to post a comment on your blog, I keep getting an error message :/

      But your teaser sounds good! But it also reminds me a bit of Spirit's Princess, which is about Himiko, an mythological Japanese figure.
