The Air You Breathe
by Frances de Pontes Peebles
Probably closer to a 4.5, really.
I am very surprised at how swept up in this book I ended up being! It's kind of a hefty book, and it doesn't feel like much is happening, but the whole time you feel like you're there with Dores and Graca. My plan was to try and finish this book this weekend, but that subway commute and my desire to keep going meant that I finished it today. Wild. I think it's kind of common now to explore female friendships or whatever, but I thought that Graca and Dores were so electric and dynamic and fascinating. It kind of reminds me of My Brilliant Friend, but not totally. I feel like this one is gonna stay with me for a while.
Truly, I worship at the altar of Riverhead, their editors have incredible taste in books.
