As the title suggests, I loved how The Covenant of Water transports you into a specific time and place in such vivid detail. I loved how this story was about rich characters facing every day obstacles of living in India, and how they overcame and succumbed to the hands they were dealt. I loved how well this book showed the passage of time and the progress of technology throughout the 3 generations. I was also really interested in the in depth scenes with the doctors diagnosing or performing surgery with their limited tools compared to today.
Does anyone have any suggestions for these types of book that would put me in a foreign land? Possibly Africa, eastern Europe, Japan/Korea? I would preferably avoid a murder mystery as the central plot of the book but open to all suggestions
Thanks!
