The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles
3.0
What I Liked
The friendship between Graca and Dores is well-written and tangible. The divides between their classes and the strong bond of friendship is the most beautiful part of this novel by far.
What I Didn't Like
Even though I love a good friend romance novel, I struggled to make it through this one. It is overly written and drawn out, with many, many detailed paragraphs about the Samba and music of the time, which is lovely if you are interested in that, but it did ultimately detract from the purpose of this novel, which was a tale of a friendship.
