The Covenant of Water follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala on the South Indian Coast, water is everywhere. 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 difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. On Monday, November 13, author & physician Abraham Verghese joins us for a Ten Evenings lecture at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall and streaming live online!
