Why read it?
1 author picked Aphrodite's Breath as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved Aphrodite’s Breath, a memoir because it honestly and intelligently explores the relationship between a mother and an adult daughter. Susan, the author, goes to live on a Greek island for a year with her elderly mother.
She faces the difficult questions of creativity and mortality as she negotiates an underground power struggle with her mother. It is poetic, insightful, and a pleasure to read.
