A Girl is a Body of Water by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi is the story of many women in a patriarchal, male dominated society. One main reason for my choosing this book is its setting in Uganda. Diversity and representation in literature matters, and I find fiction an introduction to worlds I know nothing about. The main theme of the book comes together, but perhaps fewer characters and greater depth to each would have created a story that resonated more emotionally.
