Opening line: "The football was light, barely discernible among all the myriad noises if the autumn forest: the rustle of leaves scattering in the northwesterly wind, the distant beating of wings as geese flew southwards, the echoing sounds of the village far below, yet Isamu heard it and recognized it." #heavensnetiswide #series #lianhearn #bookcover #firstline #bookgnome #bookish #book
