About this listen
A lyrical, powerful and richly textured novel about three lives that intertwine across oceans and time.
On the banks of the River Seine in 1899, a young woman takes her final breath before plunging into the icy water. Although she does not know it, her decision will set in motion an astonishing chain of events. It will lead to 1950s Norway, where a grieving toy-maker is on the cusp of a transformative invention, all the way to present-day Ottawa Valley in Canada, where a journalist, battling a terrible disease, risks everything for one last chance to live.
Taking inspiration from a remarkable true story, Coming Up for Air is a bold, richly imagined novel about the transcendent power of storytelling and the immeasurable impact of every human life. The legacy of the woman at its heart touches the lives of us all today, and this audiobook reveals just how.

I had a hard time finishing this book. 3 different narrators, one of which would make me sleepy as her tone was soft with no expression.

Beautiful story, fantastic voices
An exceptionally vivid, rich, and sharp fictional history wrapped around a fascinating true story. Emotional, memorable. This book continues to circle in my thoughts months later.The 3 voice actors are fantastic. My favorite audible yet.
