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.

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....

Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Against You by Fredik Backman, read by John Sackville.
A small, broken town sits on the edge of a frozen lake surrounded by a forest, its wounds still raw from a tragedy that tore its fragile community in two.
Beartown has lost its way. Now the cold and dark that surround the snowbound town creep in, and so do new conflicts and tensions. What was once a friendly rivalry with the neighbouring town is beginning to turn sinister and Beartown braces itself for another tragic blow.
How far will the people of Beartown go to preserve their reputations for a second, deadly time?
Us Against You is a spell-binding exposition of small-town life in all its flawed complexity.

One of my favourite novels
I loved this book so much, more than the first one, which I thought was hard to top. The author has such a unique and quirky style, as does this narrator who made the whole listening experience amazing and peaceful. I was in shambles at the end and have rarely been as moved by a book. Really interesting character construction, and very real. Will forever love this series

Gritty but powerful
The characters are so imperfectly real that they draw you into the story and provoke strong reactions in the reader. Nothing is black and white and the complexities of small town life are captured perfectly.

Waiting in anticipation for the next installment
It was not as powerful as the first but I'm hooked on these characters so for that reason I'm looking forward to part 3.

A beautiful piece of writing and reading.
I really enjoyed this as a follow up to Bear Town, Fredrik has a beautiful minimal writing style and John Sackville, reads this with a full heart.
It was a lovely book to listen to.

Sequel winner
Sequels, in my experience, usually suck. This one, I loved. I am not an easily moved reader, but I adore the characters and found my eyes leaking at times. Great author and narrator.

A moving story
Beautifully written, if at times a little repetitive. I did get a little bored part way through but glad I kept with it.

Excellent
So so good, a great listen. Not the happiest of stories, but then we don't always get a happy ending in life and Beartown embraces its flaws and celebrates its successes, as we all should.

If I could give it 6 stars I would
I cried and laughed and my heart ached when I listened to this sequel. Backman touches the reader’s soul like nobody can. It’s one of those books that will stay with you forever. Simply amazing writing which finished way too soon.
