Product Description
Review
""Holding My Breath" peels back the lid on the Jewish Canadian experience in the 1950's and 60's, exposing the often unfulfilled lives of several generations of women in this charming, dysfunctional Winnipeg family. Each has her own dream: to be accepted by the Hadassah ladies, to sing on the stage, or simply to have a place of her own. Even the smallest dream can make a woman delusional, especially in this small community at such a confining moment in history, but Beth, our delightful narrator, stakes her own claim early on and the reader is instantly smitten." Holding My Breath" is a sweet, sad and compulsively readable tale that manages, along with its lovely, unbreakable characters, to soar."
--Jennifer Gilmore, author of" Golden Country," a" New York Times" Notable Book and" Los Angeles Times" Book Prize Finalist
Margaret Forster
'The perfect antidote to the many agonised family novels currently around. This novel is a pleasure to read'
