A review by nordstina
The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles

4.0

Music weaves itself throughout this book and settles into your bones as you read. I think it’s really the star. But the plot is about two girls, one an orphan, and the other a rich girl who grow up together on a plantation in Brazil. They both love to sing, Dores is the practical, smart one and Graça, the impulsive dreamer. The book is told from the present Dores and in flashbacks of their childhood and fame. I really liked the ambience of the story more than the characters per say. Good read!
