An Oprah’s Book Club Pick, “The Covenant of Water” has sold more than two million copies worldwide. Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, Abraham Verghese’s masterful novel follows three generations of a family in South India that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning. As the novel opens, a young girl is sent by boat to her wedding. She becomes the matriarch of an extraordinary family that will endure hardship, celebrate triumph, and witness unthinkable changes. An exquisite modern classic, “The Covenant of Water” is an unforgettable epic of love, faith, and medicine.
