Breathe

In her new novel, Oates tells the story of a married couple from Cambridge, Mass., who travel to the starkly beautiful but uncanny landscape of New Mexico. When husband Gerard is stricken with a mysterious illness, wife Michaela must come to terms with the prospect of widowhood and both embark upon a nightmare journey. Breathe is part horror story, part romance, and thoroughly rooted in the conflict between love and loss.
