Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Participants share two sentences from a random page of their current books.

After reading Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, I had to pick up my own copy of The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank herself.  Here’s a teaser about “the helpers” who visited the Franks almost every day with food and supplies:

“They come upstairs every day and talk to the men about business and politics, to the women about food and wartime difficulties and to the children about books and newspapers. They put on their most cheerful expressions, bring flowers and gifts for birthdays and holidays and are always ready to do what they can.”

I’m almost finished with the book.  It’s been very insightful reading!
