Which body of water is yours? Is it that I've anchored myself in too many places at once, or nowhere at all? The answer lies somewhere between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNina 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of 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 lyrical, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nina Mingya Powles","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43175576043763,"sku":"9781838852153","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781838852153.jpg?v=1662075652","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/small-bodies-of-water-nina-mingya-powles-9781838852153","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
