Teaser Tuesday, May 25

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

In my continuing search for insight into WWII, this week I've started Americans in Paris: Life & Death Under Nazi Occupation.

Here's the Teaser:

A great phalanx of helmeted Wehrmacht troops marched to a Nazi band, while the Swastika flew over the Arc de Triomphe. At this scene, Parisians had stared sullen and silent, many of them weeping.

I hear there's a (reasonably) happy ending.

Previously on Teaser Tuesday: The Man Who Cancelled Himself was one of David Handler's better-written ones--and they're all well-written. Might have something to do with the fact that it's set among television writers and he used to be one. The plot, however, was much like any other Hoagy plot. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It hit the spot.
