I didn't expect to find a new favourite memoir this late in December. I read this for Read Palestine Week and it was the rightest choice. I love how this book written since the very first few chapter 🥺✨

All Water has Perfect Memory is about three generations of Palestinian family through its maternal line. It showed the struggle of the first Nakba, being a refugee, and a woman at the same time. It dwells deep into how generational trauma never really leave, and how it shaped a person building a family.

This memoir written in the exact amount of poetic phrase. It was sooo soooo beautiful. I love how the author put trivias and analogy at the start of every chapter. Be it etymology of certain words and fun factors on a certain place or wonders.

This book took a darker turn for the later half. The life Nada going through is not easy. It revolved around family issues and turning upside down for a long lost familial line. 

If you're into carefully crafted, beautifully written memoir, would love to understand more and amplify Palestinian voice, this is the perfect choice. Give it a go!!!
