Omschrijving
An enthralling story of the wildness of youth, set in the world of surfing, now a film by Simon Baker.
An absorbing, powerful and deeply beautiful novel
A love letter to the sea and a moving coming-of-age story . . . Rapturous
Breath has the sensibility and reach of an epic
Full of fizz and a vital poetry of sun, sand, sea and air
Breath has the urgent clarity of a story that needed to be told
