Tuesday Intros- The Last Camellia



My Tuesday Intro pick comes from Sarah Jio's newest and highly anticipated release, The Last Camellia. I know that I can't wait to read this one!!!
Prologue- A cottage in the English countryside April 18, 1803
The old woman's hand trembled as she clutched her teacup. Out of breath, she hadn't stopped to wash the dirt from under her nails. She hovered over the stove, waiting for the teakettle to whistle as she eyed the wound on her finger, still raw. She'd clumsily cut it on the edge of the garden shears, and it throbbed beneath the bloodstained bandage. She's tend to it later. Now she needed to come to her senses.
Based on the opening paragraph, would you continue to keep reading?
