splitdice 's review for:

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
3.75
reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

there are some very engaging and some very slow parts of the book, which considering how long it is may or may not make it worth it. some parts i cried at and some parts i was just skipping ahead. while sad i also got really frustrated at some of the characters
philipose!!!!
but i think their growth really shone through. i did have like a month break reading this, i think the very first parts are very slow and not as interesting as the rest, its a book you need to put down every once in awhile to fully enjoy
