Off the top of my head, the only time I've had a foreword (which I don't consider a prologue) is in my first Atlantic City book. It's only two pages long and briefly describes the quasi-religion and secret society of sorts that informs the unique culture of this fictional Atlantic City neighborhood. I like how it leads into the present day (1938) by introducing one of the double protagonists as the (unknowing) descendant of one of the town's founders. It's always reminded me a bit of how the Book of Ruth ends with a short genealogy that ultimately introduces King David and ties things into the present day from a seemingly unrelated story.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.com
