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.

Story
Growing up, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward spiral following the break-up of her marriage. But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew about the baby buried in a shallow makeshift grave next to the family plot. But when Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret.

Story
Death stalked the Vale. In every corner, every whisper. They just didn't know it yet. Six neighbours, six secrets, six reasons to want Olive Collins dead. In the exclusive gated community of Withered Vale, people's lives appear as perfect as their beautifully manicured lawns. Money, success, privilege - the residents have it all. Life is good. There's just one problem. Olive Collins' dead body has been rotting inside number four for the last three months. Her neighbours say they're shocked at the discovery, but nobody thought to check on her when she vanished from sight.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Publisher's Summary
I'll tell you something, something important. Love is a decision. Not a feeling. That's what you young people don't realise. That's why you're always off divorcing each other. No offence, dear.
So decrees the formidable Connie Thrum of Scribbly Gum Island. She is the chief decision-maker of a rather unconventional family and her word is law. It's been over 70 years since Connie and her sister Rose visited their neighbours and found the kettle boiling and a baby waking for her feed, but no sign of her parents. The 'Munro Baby Mystery' still hasn't been solved and tourists can visit the abandoned home, exactly as it was found in 1932.
But now Connie has passed away and the island residents ponder her legacy. Sophie Honeywell is looking down the barrel of her 40th birthday and still hoping for that fairytale ending. Her beautiful new friend Grace, the Munro Baby's grand daughter, can't tell anyone what she hopes for. It would be too shocking.
Meanwhile, a frumpy housewife makes a pact with a stranger, an old lady starts making her own decisions and a family secret finally explodes on an extraordinary night of mulled wine, fire-eating, and face-painting - The Last Anniversary.

Could have been written in many less words!
Over all not bad - I continue to return to lianes books after Secrets and Lies but yet to find one that comes close - this one too many generations to follow and I feel
It could have been written as a shorter novel getting to what really happened quicker - last 2 hours a page turner but up till then slow and cumbersome always trying to understand who I was following - sooo many siblings, parents, aunts etc

Modern day Maeve Binchy?
I suppose, depending on your perspective, this may not be a compliment although in my case it is. There are many excellent female writers but few concentrate so well on families, their odd and discordant personality types and their obsessions/fears as well as Liane Moriarty. Maybe I could have rated it higher but the genre prevents me from doing so (well read classics being at best 5s). Here there was a clever blending or humour and deadly serious all told with suitable tongue in cheek without any hint of reticence. Hugely enjoyable even when the twists become almost too much for anything but farce. I shall certainly read more of her work. I am moving now to Ben Elton - who surprisingly I have never read - and do hope, as a male equivalent, he can hold up to this comic standard. After all he is a veteran of this genre - one of the few men who major in comic writing and scrips.

A light as air breezy read that takes you along for a ride that you don't want to end. The female characters dominate and as the story unfolds the reader falls in love with each of them for different reasons. A slight change of pace for Liane and most enjoyable.
