Review of Drawing Breath by Gayle Brandeis

[Olivia Delgado 1]

Drawing Breath captivated me from the beginning, its lyrical essays and poetic inspirations made it a memorable experience. I was drawn in from the first chapters that speak of memory and girlhood to the second half of the book where we understand how familial relationships truly shape our existence. Gayle Brandeis created a powerful story that not only inspired me, but will remain relevant for years to come.
