The best opening bit of a book that has not been written.

You might disagree. Opening lines are hard. I read recently to start a novel the chapter after you think it should start.* Recent criticism of my newest novel confirms this.

I still like the opening. I’d read more if it existed.

* Sarah Waters, rule 2. All of these are worth reading though; I’d say from personal experience that 70% are true.
