First Impressions

This week's First Impressions, the competition in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, comes from a classic study of "playing the game":

"Tuna Puna at the beginning of this century was a small town of about 3,000 inhabitants, situated eight miles along the road from Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad."

The winner receives a £20 book token and the closing date is May 26.
