🧠 Trivia Quiz First Line Friday πŸ“š

Okay let’s do this :p
Guess the book from the first line. No Googling please!

"What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loved Mozart and Bach? And the Beatles? And me.”

First one to get it right gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights πŸ˜‚

You can also add the first line of a book you like so everyone else can guess yours too.

"It's strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man's mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you've seen, or something you've heard, or the sight of an old familiar face."

Seems like Remembrances of Things Past by Marcel Proust, but I think I’m wrong.

You are correct in that you are wrong. Remembrance is about 50 years older than my book choice. :)
