deep affinity with

[alpacinou]

Hello.

Have I used "affinity" correctly in this sentence?

She felt a deep affinity with rivers because her father and grandfather were fishermen.

If affinity doesn't work, what word can I use to suggest she has a special passion for rivers?

 

[Tarheel]

Perhaps:

Rivers were in her blood.

 

[alpacinou]

Does my sentence work at all?

I think you can use it.
