Abraham Verghese: The Covenant of Water

  • Resumen

  • Physician and writer Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone, crafts a masterly narrative of three generations of a family in Kerala, through the eyes of a young girl, from her arranged marriage at the turn of the 20th century to her emergence as the matriarchal figure, Big Ammachi.

    Solving the mystery of a family affliction – in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning – the book brings to life a vanished past and the impact of change on lives and communities.

    Examine the marriage of medicine and literature with Abraham, joined by host Roanna Gonsalves.

    Presented by Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Centre for Ideas.
