First Impressions

March 19, 2004

This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a work by an aristocratic traveller:

"Of all the things that attracted my attention during my stay in the United States, none struck me more forcibly than the equality of social conditions."

* Entries, including postal address, should be sent to First Impressions, The THES, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1W 1BX, faxed to 020 7782 3300 or emailed to theschat@thes.co.uk

The winner receives a £25 book voucher. The closing date is March 23.

The winner of last week's competition, who identified Anthony Trollope's The Small House at Allington , is Richard Trainor, vice-chancellor, University of Greenwich, London.
