OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER&nbsp;• SUBJECT OF A SIX-PART SUPER SOUL PODCAST SERIES HOSTED BY OPRAH WINFREY&nbsp;From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secret“One of the best books I’ve read in my entire life. It’s epic. It’s transportive . . . It was unputdownable!”—Oprah Winfrey, OprahDaily.comThe Covenant of Water&nbsp;is the long-awaited new novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of the major word-of-mouth bestseller Cutting for Stone, which has sold over 1.5 million copies in the United States alone and remained on the New York Times&nbsp;bestseller list for over two years. 
Spanning the years 1900 to 1977,&nbsp;The Covenant of Water&nbsp;is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, known as Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.
A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water&nbsp;is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. It is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

Mittens and Pity

A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home. 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, GuardianWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

A House in Sicily

New York Times bestselling author Pamela Redmond returns with a propulsive family drama about a woman of a certain age whose picture-perfect California life gets turned upside down. Sixty-something Helena Drummond rules the roost at her Santa Barbara compound. Clad in her go-to black cashmere sweaters and wide linen pants, she keeps close tabs on her three grown sons, the property, and her massively successful skincare company, which she wishes hadn't gotten quite so big. When she was a single mother, trying to find a place to live, and stumbling onto the cottage with her young son, Oscar, she had such an idealistic vision for the products. Speaking of which, where was Oscar? Helena's well-orchestrated world cracks open at the seams when Oscar doesn't show up at her A-list relaunch party. His wife and kids are there, yes (and almost on time), and his brothers. So where could he be? What happens next uproots Helena's life in every way: her relationships, her control, her love, her friendships, her legacy, and her business. In a breathless narrative that mixes a police investigation with an eccentric cast of characters--a long-lost love reappearing late in life, a minimalist millionaire, cherished children, an Irish nanny, a former movie star, the local real estate celebrity, and even the security guards at the iron gate--The Matriarch will draw you in and leave you wanting more. Just like Helena would want it.
