A special series hosted by Oprah ['The Covenant of Water' Companion Podcast]( "THE COVENANT OF WATER is truly one of the most gripping, exquisite novels I have ever read.

At the turn of the century, a 12-year-old girl from Kerala 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) will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy, triumph, hardship and loss—her faith and love the only constants. 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.
