Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s novel, “A Girl Is a Body of Water”, centers around Kirabo, a young girl growing up in Uganda. At the age of twelve, she is haunted by the absence of her mother, a void that looms over her childhood. Raised by a community of women in the small village of Nattetta—her grandmother, her best friend, and her numerous aunts—she feels the shadow of her mother’s absence.

As Kirabo navigates her adolescence, she experiences the emergence of a mysterious inner force, a presence that contradicts her otherwise sweet and obedient demeanor. Seeking answers, she turns to Nsuuta, a local witch, for guidance. From Nsuuta, she learns about her birth mother, who is alive but not ready to meet her. Nsuuta also reveals that Kirabo possesses a trace of the “first woman”—an independent, original state that has been nearly lost to women.
