Description

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, this novel follows a family in southern India as they grapple with a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning. Against this backdrop of tragedy and hardship, a young girl's life is forever changed as she navigates the complexities of love, family, and cultural heritage. As she grows into a remarkable woman, known as Big Ammachi, she witnesses the joys and trials of life, as well as the struggles of those who have come before her. With humour, deep emotion, and a profound understanding of the human experience, Verghese crafts a shimmering evocation of a lost India and the passage of time itself. A powerful and moving exploration of the human condition, The Covenant of Water is a testament to the hardships endured by past generations for the sake of those alive today.
