The Air We Breathe by Andrea Barrett
Here in the crisp, mountain air where wealthy tuberculosis patients recover in private cottages and charity patients, mostly European emigres, fill the sanatorium, time stands still.
Andrea Barrett is in a class by herselfA near-perfect equipoise between smooth storytelling and the suggestion of larger truths * Newsday *
Few writers have mastered the historical novel as [Barrett] has... Her re-creation of time and place remains glittering * The Times *
This is a meticulously researched novel, and provides an edifying glimpse into an odd, static world during a period when the world outside was anything but static * Daily Telegraph *
