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.

An Incredible Book
Revisado: 06-17-24
One of the best books I've ever read. Such rich language and imagery. I loved the histories of all the generations.

The black experience in America - starting from its origins in western Africa up to 1961 - is examined in this seminal study from a prominent African American figure. The entire historical timeline of African Americans is addressed, from the Colonial period through the civil rights upheavals of the late 1950s to 1961, the time of publication.

Good information up to MLK, excluding his assassination, which hadn't happened yet.
Revisado: 03-30-24
The narrator mispronounced a lot of words. Like "consumMATE" as when you consumate a marriage, instead of CONsummate, like a connsumate professional. Stuff like that throughout. The information is timeless, but the language is dated. Standard use of "negroes," for example. I liked learning more about Civil Rights eras that are rarely discussed anymore, since there has been so much history since MLK and Malcolm (who wasn't even mentioned).
