The Invisible Mountain - Teaser Tuesday

This weeks teaser is brought to you from The Invisible Mountain by Carolina De Robertis, page 22:

The spent long afternoons leaning on the rails. They stared at the ocean. The smoked, stared, lit up, and smoked again, until the tobacco ran out and they just stared and  gnawed on substitutes - fish scales, shred of cloth, errant twigs from the homeland. 

I just recently started this novel. I've heard such great things about this novel(it's not YA by the way). The author uses the language in such a beautiful and almost poetic way.
