Every Tuesday Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Introsto share the first paragraph sometimes two, of a book that she’s reading or planning to read soon.
When Cate Christie has left the city, she had known it wasn’t going to be for good. And when she drove her tiny car through the vast, open paddocks of wheat and sheep, she knew that she wasn’t going to stay. That this was just temporary. And she knew that, no matter the distance between her and the bright, shining lights of the city, Brigit was still dead, and that she was going to be dead forever.
Cate Christie is a party girl, unable to commit to anything, until she is involved in a tragic accident that changes everything. To escape her guilt and her parents’ bitter disapproval, Cate leaves Perth for her aunt Ida’s isolated farm in country Western Australia.
Henry is a drifter, a young swagman-like character who wanders onto the Christie family property and takes up residence in a disused shed. With secrets of his own, the last thing he wants is to get tangled up in Cate and Ida’s lives.
Against their own better judgement, the fates of Cate and Henry and Ida inexorably intertwine and they learn to face the realities of life, death and letting go.
A witty, charming and moving debut rural romance about what makes a good death and, more importantly, what makes a good life.

I like the intro but not sure this is a book for me.
Not sure about the intro … but hope you are enjoying the read.
I think I’d need to know more about this book – not sure it’s a book I would like. Based just on the intro I wouldn’t read on.
Oh, yes, this one sounds good! I’ve been noticing it. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Thanks for sharing this new-to-me novel and author.
I would definitely keep reading.
Sounds like a fun romance. Here’s my link for today: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1id
I’m intrigued by this book. I like the first paragraph and then went and checked it out on Goodreads. I’d like to read this one.
I’d probably keep reading as I like books that get an accurate picture of loss – however I’ll wait to see what you think first.
