The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
emotional
sad
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
I read the book while listening to the audio. I love when a book is narrated by the author themselves. I love that Verghese brings world to life by giving each main character a distinct voice, doing dialects and accents, etc.
