Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water 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.
At the turn of the century a twelve-year-old girl, 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 poignant
beginning, the young girl and future matriarch - known as Big Ammachi -
will witness unthinkable changes at home and at large over the span of
her extraordinary life, full of the joys and trials of love and the
struggles of hardship.
A shimmering evocation of a lost 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 hardships
undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. Imbued
with humour, deep emotion and the essence of life, it is one of the
most masterful literary novels published in recent years.
