Reflections: Letters in Water (18 books)

Books - short stories, novels, anything - that has water as a predominant or major theme or symbol. Water not simply as something on the cover art (although that's a plus) or an isolated scene in the story, but something that's integral to the text. It can be any genre and by any author, but the emphasis is on literary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction by women and poc authors.
