ABOUT THE BOOK

Through sparse, elegant prose, Amy Koppelman's brutally honest portrayal of family and self shows the reader that real problems are indiscriminate of money or birthright. A Mouthful of Air brings to light the complexity and fragility of the human psyche.

A Mouthful of Air begins a few weeks after Julie Davis's suicide attempt and on the eve of her son's first birthday. Desperate to lead a "normal" life, Julie tries to be thankful for the good things- her comfortable lifestyle, her doting husband and her healthy baby.

But her emotional demons are unrelenting, and the battle is being quietly lost. READ AN EXCERPT

Amazon Reader's Review: A searing novel written with authority. A rare gem. Ms. Koppelman's is a new voice in the tradition of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Joan Didion. I'll be teaching this one in my graduate fiction class for many years to come. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. It won't let go of you until long after you're done reading it.
