Such tender and touching short stories! Immediately engrossing! Only just discovered van der Berg so decided to start with her first collection.

One of my very favorite short story collections ever! I read this about 5 years ago and I still think about the stories. #shortstorycollections #readingwomenmonth.
I loved this collection of short stories featuring the mythic and the mundane. The title story is about a young woman with aspirations of becoming a long-distance swimmer and her scientist mother in Madagascar, where she discovers her sexuality. #maybookflowers #bodyofwater

It's #Recommendsday! What are you recommending? "My all-time favorite short story collection! All of the characters in the pages of this quiet, strange book are searching for something--a lost love, a better job, the Loch Ness monster. It has stayed with me for years and gets better on each reading." - @rebeccaschinsky
