A Breath of Life is Clarice Lispector’s last book, published after her death. Lispector keeps coming up, including in this video by Catherine K., who reads her for the courage of perception:

How far can I go into my thoughts? If I abandon all my fear… and I just trust in complete mystery, then what will I see?

I’m planning to start with Near to the Wild Heart, her first, and end with this one, her last.
