Bustle included THE AIR YOU BREATHE in their round-up of “13 New Historical Fiction Books To Read If You Want To Escape 2018 For A Little While” (because who doesn’t?!) with a lovely summary:
“Skinny, nine-year-old orphaned Dores is working in the kitchen of a sugar plantation in 1930s Brazil when in walks a girl who changes everything. Graça, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy sugar baron, and Dores quickly bond over their love of music. Their passion will become the source of their friendship and their rivalry, and for each, the only way out of the life to which each was born. But only one is destined to be a star.”
