Book Beginnings and The Friday 56
On Fridays I will share excerpts from whatever I am reading that day. First, Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader then The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
First share the opening lines of your novel, then turn to page 56 (or 56%) and share a few lines!

This weeks book is Estoril by Dejan Tiago-Stankovic
Beginning: “The story of mysterious wires first surfaced in the mid-eighties of the last century, when the Hotel Palacio Estoril underwent complete renovation and two more floors were added to the building.”
56%: “It was a warm night. The casino was full. Popov had noticed that his shadow Fleming had abandoned him, which made him very happy, but as soon as he entered the casino he spotted him again, sitting at the roulette table with some German officers, placing his paltry bets, one chip each time.”
Thoughts: I’m not far through this novel so far, but so far I’m enjoying it!
Happy reading!

I adore the cover. Also, the writing style seems kind of interesting and unique – very quirky. Maybe I should read the book to be further delighted by it. Thanks for sharing!
