A principios del siglo XX, una niña de doce años es enviada en barco para contraer matrimonio con un hombre de cuarenta al que no conoce. A partir de entonces, la joven y futura matriarca, conocida como Big Ammachi, será testigo de cambios impensables: una historia llena de alegrÃas, pruebas de amor y lucha ante las adversidades. Evocación de una India desaparecida, imbuida de humor y emoción, El pacto del agua es un himno al entendimiento humano y al progreso de la medicina, y un testimonio de las dificultades sufridas por las generaciones pasadas por el bienestar de quienes viven ahora. 520 $a Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water 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 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. 546 $a Text in Spanish ; Translated from the English 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FIC045000 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life / General $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fiction: general & literary $2 thema 650 7 $a Family life fiction $2 thema 650 0 $a Drowning $v Fiction 650 0 $a Families $z India $v Fiction 650 0 $a Surgeons $v Fiction 650 0 $a Caste $z India $v Fiction 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction 650 0 $a Colonies $v Fiction 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction 650 7 $a Ahogados $v Novela 650 7 $a Familias $z India $v Novela 650 7 $a Cirujanos $v Novela 650 7 $a Casias $z India $v Novela 650 7 $a Clases sociales $v Novela 650 7 $a Colonias $v Novela 650 7 $a Secreto $v Novela 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drowning $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Family life $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Drowning $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Spanish language. $2 sears 650 0 $a Families $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Caste $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Surgeons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Colonies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Glasgow (Scotland) $v Fiction 651 0 $a Kerala (India) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction 651 7 $a Glasgow (Escocia) $v Novela 651 7 $a Kerala (India) $x Historia $y Siglo XX $v Novela 651 0 $a Kerala (India) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Glasgow (Scotland) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Kerala (India) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Glasgow (Scotland) $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 0 $a Kerala (India) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction 655 7 $a Novels 655 7 $a Novela histórica 655 0 $a Spanish language materials 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Spanish language materials. 700 1 $a Hojman, Eduardo, $d 1964- $e translator 830 0 $a Narrativa (Salamandra (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716062713.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9552CE2A433B11EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
