Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
My teaser this week is from Quarter Past Two on a Wednesday Afternoon by Linda Newbery
Blurb
It was the day when everything stopped…
At quarter past two on a hot afternoon in August, Anna’s beautiful, headstrong elder sister Rose disappears.
Twenty years later, Anna still doesn’t know whether Rose is alive or dead. In her early thirties now, she sees her future unfolding – with sensible, serious Martin and a grown-up, steady job – and finds herself wondering if this is what she really wants.
Unable to take control of her life while the mystery of her sister’s disappearance remains unsolved, Anna begins to search for the truth: what did happen to Rose that summer’s day? NetGalley
My Teaser
In bed Anna propped herself up, reading Forever, her library book, anticipating drama and the earful Rose would get when she turned up. Eventually she turned off her light. It was a way of hastening Rose’s return; when she woke up it would be morning, Rose would be asleep in her room, an no-one would remember why they’d been so worried.
Interested?

The blurb is kind of interesting and pretty saddening 😦 I might want to check out further about this book. Thanks for sharing.

It is sad in the way that the consequences of an unexplained disappearance have on those left behind but it is fascinating learning about what happened in the run up and the way Anna is living her life without her big sister.

The book cover is captivating, and after reading the blurb and teaser together, I cannot help but wonder if at this point in the story, Rose has already disappeared 😦

The teaser comes from early on in the book – the rest of the book flits backwards to before her disappearance right up until the present day – I’m enjoying it, there is a lot more to it than the synopsis suggests.
