Sunday Sentence: Elizabeth Strout

As inspired by Fobbit author David Abrams at The Quivering Pen, the best sentence(s) I read this past week, without further context or commentary:

Lonely was the first flavor I had tasted in my life, and it was always there, hidden inside the crevices of my mouth, reminding me.

-- Elizabeth Strout, My Name is Lucy Barton

  1. Okay. I am going to have to read this book. I tried but couldn't get into Olive Kitteridge, so I haven't even looked at My Name is Lucy Barton. This sentence is fantastic!
