“The Covenant of Water," published Tuesday, is Verghese's first work of fiction since his million-selling “Cutting for Stone” came out in 2009. Verghese's current book is a multigenerational saga set in India from 1900-1977. “This is one of the top five books I’ve read in my lifetime. And I’ve been reading since I was 3,” Winfrey said in a statement. Many moments during the read I had to stop and remember to breathe.
