5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

Eight stories by Alex Morrall and Man Booker Shortlisted Clare Morrall

Robert Anderson is the first of his brothers to make it past seventeen. How does that affect him? Does he expect to die soon too?

Bookish teenager, Ella is intimidated when she is asked out by an older boy, a man nearly, on a motorbike. As she starts to get to know him, their tentative friendship is under threat by the shadows of misogyny around her school and on the streets. How can she work out where the boundaries of a healthy relationship lie?

Follow these characters and others, exploring themes of regret, and isolation in this collaboration between Alex Morrall (‘A hugely talented writer’ - Mary Rowen) and Man Booker Shortlisted, Clare Morrall.

ACCLAIM FOR OTHER BOOKS BY THE MORRALLS:
'Breathtaking and moving, Helen and the Grandbees [Alex Morrall] is a novel that bravely explores themes of familial discord, race and love in modern Britain. It is a book that immediately gripped me, compelling me to keep turning the pages well into the night. Morrall writes with confidence, poise, and a sense of humour to match. At times heartbreaking and heartwarming, this is a novel readers won't soon forget. A riveting debut.' Awais Khan, author of In the Company of Strangers

Astonishing Splashes of Colour [Clare Morrall] is extremely well written and compulsively readable. At her very first attempt, Morrall has written a genuinely solid and satisfying work of fiction, skilfully plotted and fielding a cast of fully realised and individualised characters. More, please. ― The Sunday Times

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable short stories
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2025
    I really enjoyed reading 'Remembering to Breathe' it was a nice break from long books. You could pick it up on a whim and enjoy one, two stories or the whole book each story was individual and some actually end with the ability to allow us the freedom to keep the story going in our heads.
    I think you would enjoy reading these stories, I did!

    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2022
    This was an interesting book full of what I would call "short stories." They aren't very long, but they each were a well written interesting story. Some endings were even surprising. It's a good book to pick up when you're in the mood for a little reading while eating your lunch or having a couple cups of coffee.

    The stories are interesting and mysterious. I really enjoyed them. I like the style, giving just enough information to understand the story but not too much so that we stay interested.
