Friday Quotes, May 6th

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. Share the opening quote from the book.
The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice.  Find a quote from page 56.

Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest, or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. This is the book I'm reading right now---

 Book Title: My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout

 Book Beginnings:
There was a time, and it was many years ago now, when I had to stay in a hospital for almost nine weeks.
Friday 56:
But it turned out I wanted something else. I wanted my mother to ask about my life.
Comments:
Lucy Barton was estranged from her mother until she showed up at the hospital as a companion as Lucy mended. I've read very little of this book so far but I do like the author. Her book Olive Kitteridge was amazing.
