Teaser Tuesday - The Casual Vacancy

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!

It finally came in at the library…I’m not so much of a J.K. Rowling fan that I need to buy her book without reading it first (now, if it was another Harry Potter, you bet I’d be there the day it was released. I even bought book seven before it was released). Anyway, Alex picked it up for me on Saturday and I’ve been plugging away at it…verdict coming once I’m done reading…but for now, here’s my teaser:

The pall bearers were almost comically mismatched: Barry’s brothers were both five foot six, and Colin Wall, at the rear, six food two, so that the back end of the coffin was considerably higher than the front. The coffin itself was not made of polished mahogany, but of wickerwork.

The Casual Vacany, J.K. Rowling, page 159
