E: 16/07/2007 Win A £25 Book Voucher (THES)

http://www.thes.co.uk/first_impressions/

This week¹s competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a work by a former lecturer in English at Oxford:

"When I was a child and was being fractious and contrary and generally behaving badly, my mother used to rebuke me by saying: 'One day someone will come and kill me and then you'll be sorry'; or, 'They'll appear out of the blue and whisk me away - how would you like that?'; or, 'You'll wake up one morning and I'll be gone. Disappeared. You wait and see.'"

Entries, including postal address, should be sent to First Impressions, The Times Higher, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1W 1BX, faxed to 020 7782 3300 or e-mailed to [EMAIL="theschat@thes.co.uk"]theschat@thes.co.uk[/EMAIL] (No Subject Line Given)

Answer: Restless by William Boyd:D

The winner receives a £25 book voucher. The closing date is July 16.
