The Art of Not Breathing by Sarah Alexander
When I'm underwater, I remember things. Flashes of the day my brother Eddie vanished. My father holding me; my mother missing. And the deeper I dive, the less pain I feel. I can believe my brother isn't dead, that my family isn't falling apart. I can forget that it was all my fault. The only trouble is, eventually you have to come up for air.
A beautifully written debut, very lyrical and moving, which swept me away* Eve Ainsworth, author of Seven Days *
A dark page-turner which will leave you haunted and moved. * Julia Bell, author of The Dark Light *
A strong debut novel that tells an intriguing tale of grief and recovery. * School Library Journal *
An astonishingly good debut novel. I couldn't put it down. Sarah Alexander is the real deal, and I can't wait to read what she writes next. * Cat Clarke, author of Entangled *
Astonishingly good... I couldn't put it down. * Cat Clarke, author of Entangled *
