Breathing Underwater
Autor Julia Greenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 2012 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Freya has come to visit her grandparents who live on a remote island. Last year she visited them with her brother - but last year her brother died alone in a boating accident. Whilst back on the island, Freya finds a way, with the calming presence of her grandparents and the gentle care and attention of the people around her, to adjust to the fact that her brother has gone, and that life - and love - are still vibrantly in the air.
A perfect coming of age for any young girl just tipping into teenhood.

Recenzii
Excellent story . . . from an author who, notably, has written unpatronisingly and sensitively about teenager's feelings
Tremendously moving . . . there's a real romantic animism about the book that will appeal greatly to teenage girls . . . both thought-provoking and reassuring, and it comes very much recommended by me
Elegiacally, and with great pathos and skill, Green charts a girl's passage from innocence to experience, from grief to acceptance
The strong sense of place and season, together with Freya's own burgeoning sense of self, gives the book its unique flavour . . . Never has that sun-soaked, salt-crusted sense of teenage summer well-being been better described
