One paperback Covenant of Water against a backdrop of hundreds of the same book.
Has anyone else been waiting for the paperback release of this beautiful story (aka the monstrous hardcover beast of all hardcovers)? #TheCovenantofWater is now ready to plop into your beach bag! @groveatlantic.bsky.social
How far we’ve come thanks to #science. If you want a justification for reading fiction on soooo many levels.. or just curious about what it means to be human .read it and reap #TheCovenantofWater
Coming on just to let #booksky know that I’ve been on a reading tear. After #TheGreatAlone, I read #Yellowface, #TheCovenantofWater and #EverythingINeverToldYou. Before that I also read #TheFishermen. What’s next friends? I have #TheThreeLivesofCateKay and #Weyward physically and then Libby…

A wonderful #saga, telling the story of India through the lives of ordinary men and women. Lyrical, funny, tragic. Oprah loved it. So did I. Proof that you can be literary and a best seller. #thecovenantofwater #abrahamverghese

Anyone read #TheCovenantofWater yet? Selection for my neighborhood book club and I'm trying to not procrastinate as it is 712 pages and I have 3 weeks before the deadline!!!!
so excited to read #thecovenantofwater. if you're looking for coverage on this amazing book from the perspective of a South Indian diaspora doctor-writer, please get in touch!!
Verghese: "Doctoring and writing are parallel; they are both about the truth in people’s lives.”
excited to be reading the hard copy advance copy of #TheCovenantofWater. It's massive in scope. But so readable and immersive. Family saga, done in a way that reminds me of my matrilineage. ❤️
