Description
Spanning nearly a century from 1900 to 1977, Abraham Verghese's sweeping novel follows three generations of a family in Kerala, South India. Against the lush, water-rich landscape of their homeland, the family grapples with a mysterious affliction that claims at least one life by drowning in each generation. This epic saga explores profound themes of love, faith, medicine, and the enduring bonds of family as characters navigate personal joys and devastating losses. Verghese masterfully weaves a rich tapestry of life, faith, and the relentless march of progress, all set against the backdrop of a peculiar and haunting inheritance.
