The Covenant of Water (German title: Die Träumenden von Madras) is a sweeping, moving epic set in Kerala, India, spanning nearly a century. The story follows Mariamma, who moves to Parambil around 1900 and discovers a haunting family secret: generations of her new family have suffered from an inexplicable fear of water, leading to tragic drownings. As the family grows and India moves toward independence, the narrative explores themes of love, loss, caste, and the triumph of modern medicine in solving the mystery of the 'curse of water'.
