In many ways, that room is the most pleasant in the house, with a splendid view across the orchard. But it had been Keiko's fanatically guarded domain for so long, a strange spell seemed to linger there even now, six years after she had left it - a spell that had grown all the stronger now that Keiko was dead.
(Pg 53, A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro)

Sounds mysterious...
The way the room was describe and the feeling in the room, make the scenes very interesting. It make you wonder what was presents in that room six years ago. Good teaser, Melody!
Good quote! I like it, makes me want to read more!
Wonderful teaser! Sounds like a good read.
Teaser Tuesday: Trapped on Mystery Island by John Howard Reid
I will look this one up for my wishlist. I'm intrigued.
Here's my teaser: Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
Sad, yet compelling. I will be looking for this book. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesdays-heideggers-glasses.html
Oooh - I haven't read this one before, but I want to because a) I love Ishiguro and b) It's a favourite of Sarah Waters', so it can't not be good :P
I'm a big, big fan of Ishiguro but this is one I haven't read. So far my favorite of his is The Remains of the Day. One of the few books I've actually re-read! :) Hope you enjoy this one.
So tempting! I will have to look for this book.
