Submerging Myself in Abraham Verghese’s ‘The Covenant of Water’
<p>In the above passage, he addressed his young mother who did her best to infect him with her love of reading.</p>
<p>She succeeded.</p>
<p>Along with the family’s inescapable connection to water, she transmitted to her son an insatiable imagination allowing him to live inside a story as if it were happening to him.</p>
<p>And like Philipose, I’ve been living inside this story as if it were happening to me. Unlike Philipose’s experience, this 715-page novel took me well more than four, or even eight, days to read.</p>
