7. The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese

I'm enjoying it. It's a family saga centered around the life of a woman in Kerala, South India. Verghese is a physician as well as a novelist, so the narrative also includes developments in the world of medicine during the 20th century. This is my first taste of Verghese's work, and I like it.

I did finish Demon Copperhead (Barbara Kingsolver) last week while we were camping. As I'd hoped, the lack of distraction helped me focus on the story. Once engrossed I couldn't put it down.
