A review by serendipitysbooks
Small Bodies of Water by Nina Mingya Powles

informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

 Small Bodies of Water is a very personal collection of memoir-centric essays in which the author explores topics like identity, belonging and home. Various bodies of water in which the author has swum play a big role in this book, as does food. The writing was beautiful but overall it was a bit too fragmentary, introspective, focussed on the search for deeper meaning, and esoteric for my personal taste.
