"I lost an arm on my last trip home."

IMO, one of the great #OpeningSentences.
What are other great openers?

@rchopgood @bookstodon This is a boring answer, perhaps, but I never get sick of "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." #bookstodon #Rebecca #daphnedumaurier #SundaySentence

I have never read it! Maybe in part because i've seen the movie so many times (and i know the movie ending is weakened). I really should read it. That's it, I'm gonna put on the TBR list. This is just the nudge i've needed all these years. Thanks! 😊
@rchopgood @bookstodon Yes, for me, the magic of the novel is in its poetry and ambiguity. Some movie versions are brilliant as a whole other art form in their own right but very different from what the novel offers.
