Book set in Talofofo, Guam. Reviewed on 2020/08: https://www.instagram.com/p/CDY5ZR3gYqU/
A #jewish family in a small island? I know a thing or two about that. #barbaratoboni ‘s life changed when her father decided to move the entire family from idyllic Southern California to unknown #guam. Through #poems , #vignettes and pictures, #toboni tells her own story of #dislocation , #belonging and #redemption . #waterovertime is a #memoir before anything else and it should be read as such. The author’s description of her slow adaptation, coming of age and subsequent #infatuation with both the beaches of Guam and a certain #chamorro links the story with so many other great stories about resilience and adaptation. It’s quaint, interesting and I’m very glad I read it. #moonskyepublishing#talofofo #talofofobay #jewishstories#comingofage #shortstories
