Winter comes early in this city. The first snow covers all the soot and debris that three other seasons left behind.

"He - for there could be no doubt of his sex, though the fashion of the time did something to disguise it - was in the act of slicing at the head of a Moor which swung from the rafters."

I love that book, like I said.
I borrowed The Virgin Suicides, also by Eugenides, from the library but never got around to reading it. I liked the movie, though.
