The covenant of water : a novel / Abraham Verghese. by Verghese, A, (Abraham), 1955- Grove Press, 2023. Call #: FICTION VER Subjects Drowning -- Fiction.   Families -- Fiction.   Glasgow (Scotland) -- Fiction.   India -- Fiction.   Kerala (India) -- Fiction. ISBN:  X0046E95O9 9780802162175 (hc.) Edition:  1st Grove Atlantic hardcover ed. Description:  724 p. : map ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India's Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning -- and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl -- and future matriarch, known as Big Ammachi -- will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants. A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today."--Provided by publisher.
