Here are what others are saying about 'Breath': 'Brilliant, funny, visceral – and real. Those who live close to death really know what it is to be alive. Breath is more than memoir; it’s a conversation we should all be having' - Inga Simpson 'The only thing more remarkable than Carly-Jay Metcalfe’s story, is the way she tells it. Breath captures the privileges and pains of living in our transitory bodies. The absurdities. The cruelties. The bone-deep joys' - Beejay Silcox 'Breath is a taboo-busting examination of illness, propelled by a lust for life and language. Carly-Jay Metcalfe scrutinises the beauty and brutality of the human condition in a voice that is witty and original and true' - Lech Blaine
