'Impossible to put down while you're reading, and impossible to
forget about when you've finished' Glamour After a gruelling job
interview where she was interrogated about everything from her
political leanings to her family background, Sabrina Mahfouz
realised that one unspoken question had pervaded her entire life:
as a woman of Middle Eastern heritage, could she really be trusted?
Years later, Sabrina found herself confronting this question and
how it was specifically informed by the British Empire's historical
dominance in the Middle East. Taking us on a journey of the
Middle-Eastern coastlines and waterways that were so vital to the
Empire's hold, and combining memoir, history, politics, myth and
poetry, These Bodies of Water is a tapestry of writing that tells
the unacknowledged story of Britain's relationship with the Middle
East in the most revealing terms. 'A writer of staggering
conviction, ingenuity and integrity' Kae Tempest 'Brilliant and
profound' Nikesh Shukla 'A bold, brave look at the ways imperialism
affects us all' Riz Ahmed
