![]() ![]() I was so moved by A Girl Is a Body of Water and loved every single page., With each new work, Makumbi cements her position as a writer of great influence in our time and for future generations., A magnificent blend of Ugandan folklore and more modern notions of feminism. An achingly beautiful tale., Makumbi is such an honest, truthful writer and her truth wins out. An intoxicating tale that combines mythic and modern elements to make the headiest of feminist brews., This beautifully rendered saga is a riveting deconstruction of social perceptions of women's abilities and roles., In lyrical prose, Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi renders Kirabo's coming-of-age tale as a tender depiction of evolving womanhood, self-awareness in a tight-knit community and the path back to family and history., In her characteristically page-turning and engaging style, Makumbi lays bare the complex power dynamics of patriarchy, capitalism and neocolonialism, not through academic jargon but via that most effective tool of education-storytelling. ![]()
