"What a wonderful book. The Air You Breathe was my oxygen supply." --Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street

The story of an intense female friendship fueled by affection, envy and pride--and each woman's fear that she would be nothing without the other.

Some friendships, like romance, have the feeling of fate.

Skinny, nine-year-old orphaned Dores is working in the kitchen of a sugar plantation in 1930s Brazil when in walks a girl who changes everything. Gra a, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy sugar baron, is clever, well fed, pretty, and thrillingly ill behaved. Born to wildly different worlds, Dores and Gra a quickly bond over shared mischief, and then, on a deeper level, over music.

One has a voice like a songbird; the other feels melodies in her soul and composes lyrics to match. Music will become their shared passion, the source of their partnership and their rivalry, and for each, the only way out of the life to which each was born. But only one of the two is destined to be a star. Their intimate, volatile bond will determine each of their fortunes--and haunt their memories.

Traveling from Brazil's inland sugar plantations to the rowdy streets of Rio de Janeiro's famous Lapa neighborhood, from Los Angeles during the Golden Age of Hollywood back to the irresistible drumbeat of home, The Air You Breathe unfurls a moving portrait of a lifelong friendship--its unparalleled rewards and lasting losses--and considers what we owe to the relationships that shape our lives.

Pretty great!
Size: 3 Count, Size: 3 Count
Hygiene is obviously a big deal. I ordered these to separate which cloths wash different parts of my body, we don’t mix the bottom half with the top half on this side, LOL. These worked pretty great, no complaints really. The rough side feels nice on the skin and you definitely get that exfoliating feeling. The soft side is neat & smooth on the skin & the loops are great to hang on shower rack hooks. Only downside for me is they’re a little hard to keep a hold of while in the shower, LOL. A small hand loop or something may have helped. But I also think it’s something you can just get used to. I found them easier to use and keep a hold of whilst facing the water. Overall, a great purchase! Hope this helps!

Great but slippery
Size: 3 Count
Always disliked how wash clothes are too gentle and soft. I don’t feel clean with them. This one however is very rough. Love it. I feel clean. I gave 4 stars b/c the cloth is very slippery. A bit hard to get a decent grip while using it. Literally slides right out of your hand.

Nice, but too small...
Size: 3 Count
...for dudes with bigger hands. The softer black side is very soft, but basically worthless if you're wanting to really scrub dead skin away. The white rougher side is really nice and after scrubbing with it, you really feel clean. You can really feel your pores come alive when you're rinsing the suds away. I've only used the rough side. Now the disappointing part is that the cloth is just too damn small. Men with larger hands will have a hard time keeping the cloth in your hand - it's not big enough to drape over your hand so it scrunches up quite a bit when you're really trying to get a good scrub with it. If they made these in a larger size I would easily give it a "5".
