I loved this book and the narrator. I have worked in the operating rooms for many years in various capacities. I even worked at the University of Colorado Medical Center while Dr. Thomas Starzl was doing his “pioneering work establishing the field of liver transplant surgery.” He was a very gifted surgeon.

This was so beautifully and lovingly written. I need to see more of Verghese's books. I could not stop listening.

This must truly be one of the most wonderful books i have ever read (I have actually read it as well as listened) It is exquisite - the writing, the story, the characters in it - absolutely extraordinary. Dr Verghese writes from the depth of his spirit and vision - one follows the story wholly engaged with heart and mind - a rare and wonderful experience. And as for the narration- Sunil Malhotra catches every nuance of feeling, of expression so absolutely perfectly. One feels as if he lives through the voice and soul of each character. The beauty and depth of the writing is matched word for word by his profoundly sensitive narration. An amazing experience.

Fantastic! Don’t go to movie…. The book is wonderfully narrated…. Much more picturest narrated

I wanted it to continue…

Brilliant writing,

Beautifully written and performed.

This was a riveting read. I hurtled through the book with a ravenous appetite. One of the best books I have ever read. The depth of characters as well as the surprise turns and surprises in the story kept me on my toes till the last line.

Could not finish , I loved the covenant of water, this was terrible , boring, just plain awful.

Having grown up at a Mission Hospital in Africa this is a MUST READ. And with the perfect narrator, an even better audio book.

Very good book. I read this once a year.

Well written but the story is very disturbing at times - sad cultural practices - enlightening for sure.

This book was very different from what I usually read, but the story is engaging and complex. I don’t generally like to hear medical details, but Verghese even made that interesting! The story has a wonderful symmetry to it without being predictable. Highly recommend!

Loved this book. It had so many twists and turns. The writing was a delight to listen to in so many ways. Narrator was also excellent!

Beautifully written! This is the second novel I have listened to by Abraham Verghese. Loved them both!!! Thank you Abraham!

A fascinating read that challenged your vocabulary and imagination.

Beautifully written. Captivating. Narrator was spot on.

Excellent book! Awesome narrator. Extremely long—-hard to finish for bookclub, but made for great discussion. May have had too much unnecessary medical detail. But really enjoyed it

captivating family saga, set in Ethiopia. A great opportunity to learn of another culture, A wonderful book. I was sad to end it.

I absolutely loved this book. It was so well written, engaging and the narrator was excellent…

I just couldn’t get into this book and I tried hard because it used up one monthly credit. It just had too many people to keep track of. Just wasn’t what I wanted!

Good book but very slow. For a non health professional there is too much detail on surgeries and other medical infomation. Narration was slow

Amazing! This is a must read!!!

Excellent story,well written. I hope to hear more of Abraham's books.

Simply adored this book and the narration. What a truly lovely and touching story. Still thinking of the characters weeks after completing it.

This was amazing story and the narrator was fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I tried....I really did. I read the reviews and do not understand the love. Couldn't get past a couple hours.

Best book i've read in a long time. Character are real and they infiltrate your mind, I felt alone once finished. he ties up every little detail, and does so with flair.

Beautifully written and narrated. This novel spans a few continents with a solid cast of characters. I could not stop listening.

Beautifully written and narrated. A very well crafted story that comes full circle.
