nuhafariha 's review for:

Mother/land by Ananda Lima
4.0

Thank you to Books Go Social and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!

Now available.

Eloquent and elusive, Ananda Lima's Mother/Land is a meditation on motherhood, motherland and Mother tongue. Flowing effortlessly between Portuguese and English, the book takes place in a liminal space between Brazil and America. As a new Mother myself, I deeply related to Lima's worries of not being rooted in either culture enough & how that would impact her parenting. A great debut collection!
