Book: The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

Anyone is free to join in this Buddy Read! Happy Reading!

Hi all, moving over here as well.

I didn't ask questions for the first day but wanted to see why you decided to read this book. It is really big at over 800.

I was interested in the place since I had been in the neighboring state and my mum read it in TTs and recommended it to me.

I think I was the one to recommend it because it was in southeast Asia. It had higher reviews. Honestly though I think I would not have finished if not for being a BOM. Also, the audio helped as the author narrated, and I did like that. I didn't like how religious it was, but I was ok to look past it. It was written so beautifully though, so I do see why it has high ratings. Also, it was pretty emotional.

Is anyone using this on their Book Quest for the month?

I was going to use it for the haunted toy team challenge but I am just not going to be able to finish it this month. I just cannot focus this week on this level of writing. I am purely in the fluffy books re-read category. Life is just too complicated.

I tend not to mind religious books of any religion as I enjoy learning about different religions in different cultural contexts. I hope to get back to this one in a month or so.

I've had this on my TBR list for a while and keep putting it off for some reason. This might get me over the hump, so I just ordered the book from the library. I tried the audiobook a while back, but it didn't do anything for me. I'm usually a fan of author's reading their books.
