Book Beginnings & The Friday 56: High As the Heavens

Book Beginnings is where bloggers share the first sentence (or so) of the book they're reading, along with any initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

 The Beginning:

Like manna from heaven, the words fell from the sky.

The Friday 56 is where bloggers grab a book, any book, turn to page 56 (or 56% for ebooks) and share a sentence or two that captures their interest. Avoiding spoilers.

56:

 "I hope we get an opportunity to meet again, chérie," he said with a wink.

My book this week is:

High As the Heavens by Kate Breslin

Based off of these two sentences, would you continue the book?
