About this book
In Kerala, a Christian family carries a baffling inherited curse: in every generation, someone dies by drowning. Beginning at the start of the twentieth century, the novel follows a young bride entering this household, then traces the lives, loves, ambitions, losses and secrets of relatives across decades of enormous change in India. Medicine, faith, caste and political upheaval shape the family’s intimate world. Expansive yet emotionally close, it is a richly detailed multigenerational saga with a propulsive, compassionate narrative voice and considerable darkness beneath its warmth.
