'Breathe' tells the story of Carl, an ambitious Swedish financier living in London, who discovers that his best friend and his wife have gone missing in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
From its gripping opening page to its surprising finale, 'Breathe' is full of insight and humanity, and ultimately conveys an uplifting message despite all that goes before. Highly recommended.

Excellent book that provides insight in to tsunami’s and the aftermath. This is a journey of a friend searching for his best friend and his new wife following and devastating wave. It will make you stop and think about how you view life and the choices we make.
Thank you Netgalley for complimentary copy.

I really enjoyed the format of Elena Kravchenko’s novel, Breathe - the way it travelled back and forth, giving the “before” and “after” the tsunami, offered interesting perspectives. Carl’s journey, both as he looked for his missing friends, and as he looked for himself, were fraught with hope, despair, frustration, and love. Thank you NetGalley for my copy.
