Th e Covenant of Water\, by Abraham Vergese Spanning the years 190 0 to 1977\, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala\, on South India&rsquo\ ;s Malabar Coast\, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation\, at least one person dies by d rowning&mdash\;and in Kerala\, water is everywhere. At the turn of the cen tury\, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala&rsquo\;s long-existing Christian community\, grieving the death of her father\, is sent by boat to her wed ding\, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning\, the young girl&mdash\;and future m atriarch\, known as Big Ammachi&mdash\;will witness unthinkable changes ov er 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 e vocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself\, The Covenan t 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 litera ry novels published in recent years.
