Currently am reading the book "Shitolian" by O Persuad. It is a collection of poems. This is the first sentence.

Colored
or so the label would suggest
and as i watch
where the waters crest
a clearness
flows through me.
you see i really understood
what these markers meant.

"The men lock Roxy in the cupboard when they do it."
The Power by Naomi Alderman

I actually didn't know there was a show based on the book until my friend told me, but I had picked up "The Power" while I was at Barnes and Noble because unfortunately I tend to judge books by their cover and the novel was bright red with a black handprint. Thought it looked intriguing and picked it up. Ended up staying about half an hour longer than I planned and then went home with the book. So far, so good. The first sentence also doesn't do the story justice lol
