A Feather on the Breath of God by Sigrid Nunez

4.0

Sigrid Nunez speaks both to the common experience of the immigrant, the challenges and joys and prejudices he or she faces, as well as her own unique position in her family, in the projects, in her sexuality, and in her identity. With beautiful descriptions about her relationships with her father and mother, as well as her love for and self-expression in the art of ballet, and finally the provocative and eye-opening relationship she carries with a Russian immigrant studying English as a second language, this book serves as an insightful glimpse into what I perceived to be one writer's multifaceted definition of life and love in America.
