An ER copy of The Air we breathe by Andrea Barrett arrived Saturday. The Air We Breathe by Andrea Barrett arrived today! Thanks! A trade paperback copy of The Air we Breathe was stuffed inside my mailbox this afternoon. My name & address on the label was written in pen & ink. The letter inside also said "Dear Marian". Perhaps they are adding a human touch? I was glad to get this so early. I snagged The Air We Breathe by Andrea Barrett, which incidentally I looked at in the bookshop weekend before last, so I know I'm intrigued! This is my first one too, and I got The Air We Breathe which I'm excited about, because Andrea Barrett has been all over NPR this past week talking it up!
