The covenant of water : a novel / Abraham Verghese.

Verghese, Abraham, 1955- (author,, narrator.).

Summary:
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, set in Kerala, on India's Malabar Coast, this book follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction in every generation, at least one person dies by drowing - and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's Christian community, 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 unforgettable new beginning, the young girl - and future matriarch, Big Ammachi - will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants. A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, this is 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.
