thewordsdevourer's review against another edition
3.0
the book is at times too slow and the description of plants and nature arent of keen interest for me, and many of the chapters seemingly blend into one another. however, i still enjoy this book, particularly the author's rumination on chinese characters and their deeper meaning; relatable sense of nostalgia and longing for family and the past, when things seemed simpler; and how they - along w/ nature and the titular bodies of water - all serve as her anchor in a life often uprooted and in a world where borders are increasingly closed off from one another.
