Description
Breathe by Joyce Carol Oates is a raw and propulsive tale of love and grief. When Michaela's husband falls ill, their life descends into chaos, and she faces the terrifying prospect of widowhood. As Gerard's condition worsens, Michaela must care for him in his final days, and then navigate the aftermath of his death. This is a heart-wrenching exploration of the madness of grief, an intense love story that grapples with fundamental questions about our existence. With vividly depicted scenes, Oates crafts a narrative that is both haunting and unflinchingly honest.
