📝 Summary
A deep and layered saga about three generations of one family
The Covenant of Water is the second novel by the famous American writer of Indian origin Abraham Verghese. The author is remembered by readers after his impressive literary debut – “Slicing Stone”. The novel is set in Kerala, southern India. A twelve-year-old girl is married to an adult man, a widower, living in the picturesque and prosperous estate of Parambil. It is with them that the family story begins, full of love, pain, suffering, healing and secrets. The author masterfully creates a unique atmosphere where the exotic scenery of India becomes an integral part of the life of the heroes. From the first pages, the reader is immersed in a world full of bright colors and sounds, where every detail – be it a noisy market, peaceful landscapes or immersion in traditions – creates a feeling of a lively presence. Vergese skillfully alternates elements of reality and mysticism, introducing mysterious spirits that seem to live in the shadows and watch the fate of people, building a bridge between the world of the living and the dead. The main storyline covers the period from the early twentieth century to the late 1970s, in which we observe a transformation in society, as well as in medicine, combining romance and cruel realities. The story of a Scottish doctor who finds his vocation and the meaning of life away from his native shores is intertwined with the fates of local residents, whose characters are revealed with deep emotional power. The material was prepared by the chief librarian of the user service department of the Lipetsk Regional Universal Scientific Library Irina Buyeva.
