The Covenant of Water
by Abraham Verghese
The Covenant of Water (5/13/2023)
Abraham Verghese's book Cutting for Stone is my favorite book of all time. Whereas I found The Covenant of Water to be the opposite. I felt as if I were doing penance the whole time I was reading it. It was a depressing experience. I did not enjoy the writing at all.
