LEARNING TO BREATHE AGAIN is the first book in The Work of Becoming series, set in America's Depression era, featuring two very different women - on the surface, at least.

Mary is living in Miami and is happily married to Edward, but under strain as she looks after both their daughter and her mother. Understandably, it knocks her off her feet when she loses both within a short amount of time. On the other end of the spectrum, Elena is living in New York City with her husband, William, spending money on silk, going to fancy restaurants and Broadway. Their lives briefly overlap at the World Fair in Chicago, before William and Edward meet up to make future plans.

This was an amazing story, giving me more than I had envisaged. The plight of both Mary and Elena is incredibly detailed, showing just how limited their options are, what society expects of a wife, and how much of a choice they actually had.

I will say, on a personal note as an asthma sufferer, the scenes of the sugar cane burning were so vivid, I found myself taking breaths for Mary.

This was a beautifully written introduction to the series, and I can't wait to continue with the series and see what the future holds for both Mary and Elena. 4 out of 5 great stars.

Not one of my favourite in the Little House series, I must admit. We follow the family through a VERY long winter full of repetition and worry that eats away at the reader as much as it must have done poor Laura to live through it! (I must add, I read this during a period of bad snow ehere I had nothing to live off for several days but bagels, and as much as I love them, you don't half get fed up of blooming bread!)

One lovely highlight of this book is the loser interaction between the Wilder boys and the Ingalls family, even if, at this stage, it is just limited to Pa! It's nice to see the gradual steps towards what we already know occurs, and it's written well!

Not a bad read, drags a little and at times is like a plaster, you just need to whip it off and get on with it!
