A review by bookworms_closet
Floating in My Mother's Palm by Francine Kass, John Collier, Ursula Hegi
4.0
What a wonderful book! This is my second book by Hegi and I was again overwhelmed by her beautiful writing. I just know that I have to read everything she's ever written.
This one offered tiny glimpses of the people in the protagonist's (a small girl) life - both people close to her and people in her village she only knows by name and rumour.
There's isn't much of a plot - except that you can sense the protagonist's development throughout - and usually I don't like this kind of storytelling as I always need a plot. But not in this one. Hegi's writing made all the stories interesting and touching. There was a chapter for each character/story and I felt that each could have been a wonderful novel on its own.
