Book Synopsis
Breathe is a collection that explores the heart of Fidel Castro-era Cuba; an outsider's look that is balanced by a weight of empathy to illuminate truths that lie couched between the island's propaganda and the Western media's portrayal. As Aida Bahr says, relying more on subtleties than on drama, [Segal] portrays... Cubans' lives.
