"The Covenant of Water" by Abraham Verghese
Wednesday, September 16
3:00pm - 4:30pm
Virtual
ZoomJoin us online to discuss Abraham Verghese's 2023 epic historical novel set in Kerala, India, spanning 1900 to 1977.
A shimmering evocation of a bygone 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 humor, deep emotion, and the essence of life, it is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.
