tanaiseFrom Alison's Automotive Repair Manual:
"The cover showed an intricate drawing of a Corvette in cutaway, the frame and engine and seats, the smallest wire or fuse rendered in meticulous pen-and-ink lines. She imagined that if she squinted hard enough, she could make out the baby mice curled into fleshy balls, drawn no bigger than the period at the end of a sentence. "
So far, it seems a lot like After You'd Gone, but I'm only about 60 pages in.
I keep noticing the details in books so much more than I ever did before. Plots and characters and all that, they're all the same, but the details lately really catch my attention. It's also where I'm falling down in my own writing.
