Hope you enjoyed that, and well done ramblingfancy, who more or less got the right answer – Return of the Native is the odd one out, for reasons which will become clear when you see the books’ opening lines…
‘Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote’ – The Canterbury Tales
‘A Saturday afternoon in November[…]’ – The Return of the Native
‘April is the cruellest month’ – The Waste Land
‘It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen’ – Ninety Eighty-Four
Thanks for all your ingenious guesses!
Oh wow it was that, and I did actually *know* they were first lines. Thanks for sharing the question Simon!
Goodness; I had no idea!
So "obvious!" ;)
Fun question, though!
Ugh, that is obvious XD I think I need to read a few more books to get these questions in the future.
Yes, perhaps 'obvious' wasn't the right word – I meant it's an obvious thing to look for, rather than it's something we all know off by heart!
I missed your quiz! I will be looking out for more as I love book related trivia!
Well, I was totally off! I was going with the "there's 'the' in the title," but such was not the case.
That was fun, though!
