Abraham Verghese’s new novel, The Covenant of Water is to be released on Tuesday, May 2. I don’t usually buy books anymore but I bought this one! Big Ammachi is the matriarch of a family that has a covenant with water. Every generation, one member of the family drowns. “Memories are woven from gossamer threads; time eats holes in the fabric, and these she must darn with myth and fable," he has Big Ammachi say when asked by her granddaughter to tell the family story.” Taken From a review in the St. Louis Post Register posted on Facebook, this sentence seems to bundle all our lives into the memory and myths we carry. It made me shiver.

finished 's latest masterpiece, Covenant of Water. He knocks it out of the park again with this epic about family, secrets and the ways we are all bound together by love. Unforgettable characters-Big Ammachi, Mariamma, Digby, Philippose, and brilliant, doomed Elsie- bring Verghese's story to glorious, heartbreaking life. @bookstodon
