Description

A Girl Is A Body of Water is a powerful exploration of identity, family, and tradition. Kirabo's journey to reconcile her past and present is a rich and arresting tale that delves into the folklore of Uganda and the complexities of being a modern girl in a world that seeks to silence women.

As Kirabo seeks answers about her mother and her own sense of self, she must navigate the intricate web of relationships and expectations that bind her to her family and community. With the help of Nsuuta, the local witch, Kirabo uncovers a mysterious second self that threatens to upend her understanding of herself and her place in the world.

This unforgettable novel is a testament to the enduring connections between history, tradition, and the promise of a different future. Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi's writing is a powerful and moving exploration of the human experience.
