A Feather on the Breath of God by Sigrid Nunez
From Sigrid Nunez, the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend, comes A Feather on the Breath of God: a mesmerizing story about the tangled nature of relationships between parents and children, between language and love
A young woman looks back to the world of her immigrant parents: a Chinese-Panamanian father and a German mother. Growing up in a housing project in the 1950s and 1960s, she escapes into dreams inspired both by her parents' stories and by her own reading and, for a time, into the otherworldly life of ballet. A yearning, homesick mother, a silent and withdrawn father, the ballet--these are the elements that shape the young woman's imagination and her sexuality.
Sigrid Nunez is the New York Times bestselling author of many books, including What Are You Going Through and The Last of Her Kind, which won the 2018 National Book Award. Sempre Susan: A Memoir of Susan Sontag is her first book. More than twenty-five languages have been translated into her work.
