Reseña del libro "How to Breathe Water (en Inglés)"

A road trip through the prairies prompts acclaimed writer Sharon Butala to unearth the stories of the natural world around her, and at the same time revisit her own personal histories. After an isolating and demoralizing year during the COVID-19 pandemic, a friend invites Sharon Butala to join her on a road trip - together they will drive the thirteen hundred kilometers from Calgary to Winnipeg, stopping as they please along the way. Sharon is delighted for a change of scenery, and is keen to see again some of the locations that have been significant to her life on the prairies, like the ranch she lived on for thirty-three years with her husband before his death. But along the way, the sites they visit - landmarks of Indigenous history, sites where her ancestors struggled to eke out a living - prompt Sharon to unearth her own personal history. She sifts through memories of a difficult childhood, of traumas deeply buried, of relationships both complicated and gratifying. Taking stock of the people and places who are no longer with us brings her to the ultimate confrontation - with mortality - which she explores with uncommon wisdom and frankness. Her most intimate work to date, Sharon Butala's How to Breathe Water is a love letter to the lands and waters of the prairies and a stirring exploration of the places and moments that mark and mold our lives.
