OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SUBJECT OF A SIX-PART SUPER SOUL PODCAST SERIES HOSTED BY OPRAH WINFREY

From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secret

“One of the best books I’ve read in my entire life. It’s epic. It’s transportive . . . It was unputdownable!”—Oprah Winfrey, OprahDaily.com

The Covenant of Water is the long-awaited new novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of the major word-of-mouth bestseller Cutting for Stone, which has sold over 1.5 million copies in the United States alone and remained on the New York Times bestseller list for over two years.

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. It is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

Beautiful, complex story. I loved “Cutting With Stone” so I was thrilled when the author published this book. I soon fell in love with “The Covenant of Water”.
This is a book that requires your full attention. You don’t want to miss a sentence. It is read by the author and I cannot imagine a better narrator of this exquisite, masterfully woven story.

Wasn't so sure about this book; since to me, the first one was so sad, I couldn't finish it. I love the Indian culture and food. Intriguing read, start to finish. Recommend.

Too much unneeded detail. Slow too long. Boring after a while. Lost interest, didn’t complete book.

Poorly organized story’s.

Verghese’s writing is uniquely paced, languorous and beautiful and punctuated by cruelty and passion. Be prepared to leave your own world, walk into his, unpack your bag and stay awhile.

Personal, vivid, compelling story

Highly recommend!

Listening to the author read his words made the story even more moving, more powerful, and the characters more filled with love. I loved this book-- the gorgeous writing, the characters. Don't be dissuaded by anyone saying it's "boring"-- it's anything but that.

Beautiful from start to finish
