Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Now is the fall of his discontent, as Jason Fitger, newly appointed chair of the English Department of Payne University, takes arms against a sea of troubles, personal and institutional. His ex-wife is sleeping with the dean who must approve whatever modest initiatives he undertakes. The fearsome department secretary Fran clearly runs the show (when not taking in rescue parrots and dogs) and holds plenty of secrets she's not sharing. The lavishly funded Econ Department keeps siphoning off English's meager resources and has taken aim at its remaining office space.

Made me laugh out loud
Revisado: 07-19-19
Painfully ironic and funny. Julie Schumacher’s images, her spot on observations of academic life, and her voice and perfect intonation made the entire experience a delicious escapade.

This is a dear story, told with tender spirit and a love of character. Marin Ireland’s voice is magic itself. Her reading is brilliant, shifting tone and rhythm and voice to bring life to each character. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is on break from duty in Three Pines to attend the famed Winter Carnival up north. He has arrived in this beautiful, freezing city not to join the revels but to recover from an investigation gone hauntingly wrong. Still, violent death is inescapable—even here, in the apparent sanctuary of the Literary and Historical Society, where one obsessive academic’s quest for answers will lead Gamache down a dark path.

At the turn of the 20th century, in a rural stretch of the Pacific Northwest, a reclusive orchardist, William Talmadge, tends to apples and apricots as if they were loved ones. A gentle man, he's found solace in the sweetness of the fruit he grows and the quiet, beating heart of the land he cultivates. One day, two teenage girls appear and steal his fruit from the market; they later return to the outskirts of his orchard to see the man who gave them no chase. Feral, scared, and very pregnant, the girls take up on Talmadge's land and indulge in his deep reservoir of compassion.

"Somebody tell a joke!"

- The Orchardist
- De: Amanda Coplin
- Narrado por: Mark Bramhall
A poignant beautifully-written book
Revisado: 06-21-14
What did you love best about The Orchardist?
This book captures the essence of rural life in eastern Washington during the homesteading period...the independence of the people, their struggles, their silent endurance of tragedy. Their story reminded me of a Greek tragedy...in that their character flaws, which were also their strengths in some way, led inevitably to pain and sadness.
Any additional comments?
The characters in this book are full of emotions that they can't identify and for which they have no words. Their stoicism makes it impossible to talk with each other. And yet, they learn to read each others' signals, slight changes in bearing, or the eyes, a change in breathing. They "speak" volumes. Ultimately, they do understand each other, but they endure so much pain before they reach that point. Their story was captivating.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - the characters, the setting, the adventure of it, and the social and ethical issues raised in the plot. The ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel. I hope Ms. Patchett takes the characters and story even further.
