On the banks of the River Seine in 1899, a heartbroken young woman takes her final breath before plunging into the icy water. Although she does not know it, her decision will set in motion an astonishing chain of events. It will lead to 1950s Norway, where a grieving toymaker is on the cusp of a transformative invention, all the way to present-day Canada, where a journalist battling a terrible disease, drowning in her own lungs, risks everything for one last chance to live. Moving effortlessly across time and space and taking inspiration from an incredible true story, Coming Up for Air is a bold, richly imagined novel about love, loss, and the immeasurable impact of every human life."--Provided by publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20201002010346.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=893B0BCA047411EB9CD3157A2EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
