Covenant of Water - A Generational Story set in history

 Thanks to Lynn who very kindly hosted our discussion of Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. It is always a pleasure to see everyone particularly in such lovely surroundings. And we had a great discussion about the book, which most people really liked. I found it tedious in parts when the details just piled up. That being said, the story was so fascinating in its positioning in history, and so well written with compelling characters and interesting interactions. All in all a good read! 

Our next book is A House on Fire by Rachel Beanland. I have been trying really hard to get Rachel to come to our next meeting but she has not responded. If anyone else has a good in, please use it! And we have our next meeting on May 13, which might be a bit soon for people since I am so slow getting this out - we could move back a week if that is easier. I can host unless someone else wants to volunteer - my place is tiny! 

Let me know what you think about the date! See you soon.
