sadya Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 'De kamers van het Kelly-blok lagen direct boven de hal.' Dutch translation of the first sentence of 'The Tenko Club' by Elizabeth Noble, meaning something like (roughly, badly translated: 'The rooms of the Kelly-building-block, were situated directly above the hall.' This however is the first sentence of the prologue and remembering a former discussion on this board about accepting prologues as part of a novel or not, here is the first sentence of when the actual story itself begins: 'Er zou een wet moeten zijn die het autorijden terwijl je huilde verbood.' Meaning something like: 'There should be a law which prohibited crying while driving.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
