'A remarkable book' Robert Macfarlane 'A distinctive new voice:
attentive and tender' Amy Liptrot 'Elegant, understated, urgent and
nourishing' Jessica J. Lee Home is many people and places and
languages, some separated by oceans. Nina Mingya Powles first
learned to swim in Borneo - where her mother was born and her
grandfather studied freshwater fish. There, the local swimming pool
became her first body of water. Through her life there have been
others that have meant different things, but have still been, in
their own way, home: from the wild coastline of New Zealand to a
pond in northwest London. This lyrical collection of interconnected
essays explores the bodies of water that separate and connect us,
as well as everything from migration, food, family, earthquakes and
the ancient lunisolar calendar to butterflies. In powerful prose,
Small Bodies of Water weaves together personal memories, dreams and
nature writing. It reflects on a girlhood spent growing up between
two cultures, and explores what it means to belong.
