Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

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....

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.

Mulligan's narration makes the book come to life
Actress Carey Mulligan brings to life this tale of an Englishwoman's adventures as she oscillates between life and death after a suicide bid. The book is good, but the narration is even better. Now I can't imagine Nora Seed being played by anyone else.

worth my time
I loved Carey Mulligan's narration and a lot of other things abt this book. Matt Haig does a brilliant job of creating this fantasy land of Midnight Library and the fact there aren't too many dark characters makes this a heartwarming book. I have started it, paused and picked it up again in a phase I wasn't particularly feeling joyful. This book helped me appreciate some aspects of life, I take for granted.

If there was one book, it’s this one
If there was one book you were looking for to end the year or to start a new one, it’s this one. If you are not particularly into this genre but your book challenge wants you to step out of your comfort zone and read something new. Give this a try. Or if there is no reason at all and you’ve got time to spare...get this one because it is one book that we need to remind ourselves what life is amidst other things. Coming back to the review of this book...it is great. My new favourite. The audiobook is narrated beautifully and Carey’s voice is so calming that you might end up listening to her for hours. The writing is easy and the story has a good flow. And the best part is that you will relate to it at some level and you’ll love it for sure. Give it a try!

Healing, and full of heart
Such a beautiful, poignant story, narrated soothingly.
This book has been haunting, healing and so full of heart. I didn't get bored, and looked forward to listening to it, every day. Poignant at exactly the right parts, the prose of the narrative is quite lovely and easy to go through. The story would be relatable to anyone who's ever wondered about making the right choices, questioned the point of what they are doing and have felt like nothing they do matters. The book is about life and the living, and everything that we encounter along the way. The Midnight Library could be someone's dream or another's nightmare. But ultimately, it's a place of learning and hope. Will be recommending this book to many people! ❤️

My Best Book of The Year 2024.
Amazing Narration and Best Story or Advice if you learn from it. I have always regretted my life by not becoming physicist, but now I am starting to realise that, I don’t need to be a physicist to do something big and impactful, I Have Masters in Political Science and I am happy with my current work, and now I am thinking that, instead of regretting I might change my focus to what can I do best with my current self, that make my life worth living.
Now its Time to find out, its time to live, its time to change my perspective.

Enjoyed
I truly enjoyed the first third or so of the book. But was kind of disappointed in the ending, not sure why. I thought it would impact me greatly but I came away with not much. Still think it’s a good book

Intriguing read
The concept not only surprised me but the narrative technique of the to and fro of the concept of time was well managed.
It makes one think along and evaluate one’s own life choices and possibilities that may or might have been.
It’s an enjoyable read that’s well narrated.
