The Covenant of Water by Abraham VergheseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Take a generous helping of A J Cronin (for the ethos of medicine), a pinch of Frank G. Slaughter (for surgical drama), add a dollop of Robin Cook (for the medical mystery and suspense), season with Saki (for the unexpected twists in the tale), garnish liberally with Amitav Ghosh and James A. Michener(for the multigenerational narrative) and after letting it stew with John le Carré (for the breathless denouement) and topping it with a sprig of Morton Thompson you get the humdinger of a scrumptious dish called The Covenant of Water.
