Friday Focus: The Friday 56 & Book Beginnings #64

It's Friday . . . time to share excerpts from a current or upcoming read with:

• Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.  
• The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.

Today I'm featuring a book I got from the library yesterday, A Good Marriage by Stephen King.

 

 

Beginning:  The one thing nobody asked in casual conversation, Darcy thought in the days after she found what she found in the garage, was this: How's your marriage?  They asked how was your weekend and how was your trip to Florida and how's your health and how are the kids; they even asked how's life been treatin' you, hon?  But nobody asked how's your marriage?

******************** 
Page 56:  "She wanted a glass of water, but she was afraid to get up and go into the bathroom.  She was afraid he would stop her, and what would come after that?  What then?"

*********************   

 

My thoughts: It's been a long time since I read one of this author's books.  The title intrigued me, so I thought I'd give it a try.

Which book are you reading now or about to start?
