Dive into "The Covenant of Water" by Abraham Verghese, a captivating multi-generational saga and a must-read for fans of epic novels that you wished never ended. Another amazing pick from Virginia on Book Interrupted‘s Blog.

pickEnjoyable memoir of a girl growing up in India in a large family that was very much into English ways also. Includes recipes too!
When lacking an audio book option, does anyone else read aloud to themselves? For some reason I do in my Americanized British accent lol.
so-so“To be forgotten the very moment she thought she had been discovered and found precious was a punishment adult and terrible.” Poor Theresa, that is the story of her young life.
Complicated characters populate this novel. They are certainly not cardboard cutouts, which I wholly appreciated. However, for me it lacked a narrative drive so I didn‘t feel all that compelled to pick it up. #PersephoneClub

History book club book for November. So of course I‘m starting early. And yes I know hindsight is 20/20… but have you ever read a history book and just spent 70% of the time shouting WHY?!?! and the remaining 30% googling the words used?
Because historically, people in power were big dumb.
Wow, I am guessing chapter 5 pretty much sums up this sad & fraught father daughter relationship. 😟 The chapter also probably explains why they are who they have come to be, which is damaged people. #PersephoneClub
