'The Covenant of Water' tells the story of three generations in South India
Briefly

Much will be written about Abraham Verghese's multigenerational South Indian novel in the coming months and years.As we've seen with Verghese's earlier fiction, there will be frequent references to that other celebrated doctor-writer, Anton Chekhov.There will also be continued invocations of the likes of Charles Dickens and T.S. Eliot to describe Verghese's ambitious literary scope and realism.
