Description
Small Bodies of Water by Nina Mingya Powles is a lyrical exploration of home and belonging. Born in Borneo, where her mother was born and her grandfather studied freshwater fish, the author's relationship with water has been deeply personal. From the wild coastline of New Zealand to a pond in northwest London, each body of water has held significance in its own way. In this powerful and introspective work, Powles weaves together memories, dreams, and nature writing to reflect on her girlhood spent growing up between two cultures. With a keen eye for detail, she explores themes of migration, food, family, earthquakes, and the ancient lunisolar calendar, revealing what it means to belong in a world that is often fragmented. Through its beautiful prose, Small Bodies of Water offers a nuanced and deeply personal exploration of identity, culture, and the natural world.
