Story
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.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Story
Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of Sleepless in Seattle reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH PANDORA SYKES
Your ability to change everything - including yourself - starts here
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing.
But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Forced to resign, she reluctantly signs on as the host of a cooking show, Supper at Six. But her revolutionary approach to cooking, fuelled by scientific and rational commentary, grabs the attention of a nation.
Soon, a legion of overlooked housewives find themselves daring to change the status quo. One molecule at a time.

A truly well-written book
I find myself at a loss for words to truly convey the exceptional quality of this book. While I may not consider myself a staunch feminist, 'Lessons in Chemistry' opened my eyes to the very essence of why the feminist movement came into being. Elizabeth Zott emerges as an inspiring role model for women everywhere. In line with Bonnie Garmus' interview, I'd describe Elizabeth Zott as a remarkably tenacious, resilient, and wonderfully idiosyncratic scientist and mother.
I developed a deep affection for Elizabeth, not just for her character but for her unwavering determination, her unwavering commitment to her beliefs, and her occasional naivety in her interactions with people. 'Lessons in Chemistry' is a masterfully penned narrative that delves into the roots of its inspiration, the feminist movement. I'm deeply appreciative of belonging to a generation where both men and women share nearly equal freedom in all aspects of life.
This book introduced me to a new hobby rowing, which I had never considered before. The story also sheds light on chauvinism displayed toward women, covering topics like sexual assault, religious beliefs, men's thoughts on women pursuing professions outside of housewifery, and women's involvement in sports, among other issues.
Beyond Elizabeth Zott, the supporting cast, including Harriet, Walter, Dr. Mason, Wakely, Miss Frask, and even Avery Parker, plays a crucial role in Elizabeth's development. While parting ways with Calvin Evans was bittersweet, I cherished the delightful moments glimpsed through Calvin's point of view, even in the later stages of the story, whether through his succinct quotes or heartfelt letters to Wakely, and more.
Among the many memorable characters, two of my favorites, aside from the protagonist, were Six-Thirty and Madeline. The unique perspectives provided through Six-Thirty's point of view and his integration into the Zott family were a few standout elements of the book. Learning about the inspiration behind Six-Thirty's character further deepened my admiration for Ms. Bonnie Garmus' writing. I eagerly anticipate any future literary works she may craft.

Feel good story
Liked the flow and the twists though the story hitting all the right buttons did feel too populist?

Enjoyed listening to this book. It is brilliant
I am a woman scientist and I too have experienced discrimination and had to fight against it. I like the characterization and the way the story was developed. I really enjoyed it.

Bold and inspiring!
This is an amazing book. Science community must sit up and do introspection! Patriarchal structures must be challenged and held accountable for all forms skewness and injustices. I am so thrilled that as soon as I finished the book, saw the announcement of the TV serial of the book on Apply TV.
