Description
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, the novel follows three generations of a Christian family in Kerala, South India, that suffers from a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning. As the novel opens, a twelve-year old girl is sent by boat to her wedding, where she meets her husband for the first time. She joins a prosperous household and becomes known as Big Ammachi, the matriarch of an extraordinary family that will endure hardship, celebrate triumph, and witness unthinkable changes over the coming decades. An exquisite modern classic, The Covenant of Water is an unforgettable and stunning epic of love, faith, and medicine. -- back cover.
