The Covenant of Water

Zusatztext

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, <i>The Covenant of Water</i> follows a family in southern India that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning - and in Kerala, water is everywhere. A shimmering evocation of a lost India and of the passage of time itself, <i>The Covenant of Water</i> is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. <b>An Oprah's Book Club Selection.</b>
