Description
All Water Has Perfect Memory by Nada Samih-Rotondo is a memoir that explores the author's ancestral origins and the relationship between our bodies, ancestors, and the lands that hold us. The story begins with the author's six-year-old self, who experiences a life-changing event when Iraq's invasion of her birth country pushes her mother to immigrate to the United States. As Nada settles into her new existence, she starts discovering revelation after revelation that changes her perspective on her world and family. With an imaginative blend of folklore and history, this memoir takes readers through the author's ancestral origins - from the coast of Palestine, Kuwait, and Rhode Island - and explores generations of silence and eventually, connection.
